NAME
clear - clear the terminal screen
SYNOPSIS
clear [term]
DESCRIPTION
The clear utility clears the terminal screen if this is pos-
sible. It looks in the environment for the terminal type, if
this is not already specified by the term operand, and then
looks up the terminfo database to figure out how to clear
the screen.
OPERANDS
term Indicates the type of terminal. Normally, this operand
is unnecessary because the default is taken from the
environment variable TERM.
