RESET(1)                GENIX Programmer's Manual                RESET(1)



      NAME
           reset - reset the teletype bits to a sensible state

      SYNOPSIS
           reset

      DESCRIPTION
           Reset sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns  off  cbreak  and  raw
           modes,  turns  on nl, and restores special characters that are unde-
           fined to their default values.

           This is most useful after a program dies leaving  a  terminal  in  a
           funny  state;  you  have to type ``<LF>reset<LF>'' to get it to work
           then to the shell, as <CR> often doesn't work; often  none  of  this
           will echo.

           It isn't a bad idea to follow reset with tset(1)

      SEE ALSO
           stty(1), tset(1)

      BUGS
           Doesn't set tabs properly; it  can't  intuit  personal  choices  for
           interrupt  and line kill characters, so it leaves these the old UNIX
           standards ^? (delete) for interrupt and @ for line kill.

           It could well be argued that the shell  should  be  responsible  for
           insuring that the terminal remains in a sane state; this would elim-
           inate the need for this program.
