NAME

   clear - clear the terminal screen

SYNOPSIS

   clear

DESCRIPTION

   clear  clears your screen if this is possible, including its scrollback
   buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is defined).   clear  looks  in
   the environment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database
   to determine how to clear the screen.

   clear ignores any command-line parameters that may be present.
