RESET(1) — Unix Programmer’s Manual

NAME

reset − reset the teletype bits to a sensible state

SYNOPSIS

reset

DESCRIPTION

Reset sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak, turns on nl, and restores stty and ioctl characters that are null to their default values.

This is most useful after crapping out in raw mode.

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