CLEAR(C)                 XENIX System V                  CLEAR(C)



     Name
          clear - Clears a terminal screen.

     Syntax
          clear

     Description
          The clear command clears a terminal screen.  It examines the
          environment for a terminal type ($TERM) and termcap
          ($TERMCAP).  The program then uses either a clear screen
          sequence (:cl=string:) found in $TERMCAP, or looks for a
          clear screen sequence in a file given in $TERMCAP.

     Files
          /etc/termcap

     See Also
          termcap(M)

     Notes
          If clear cannot find a clear screen sequence, it does
          nothing.
