RESET(1)			 User Commands			      RESET(1)

NAME
       reset - reset the terminal

SYNOPSIS
       reset

DESCRIPTION
       reset calls tput(1) with the clear, rmacs, rmm, rmul, rs1, rs2, and rs3
       arguments.  This causes tput to send appropriate reset strings  to  the
       terminal based on information in /etc/termcap (for the GNU or BSD tput)
       or in the terminfo database (for	 the  ncurses  tput).	This  sequence
       seems to be sufficient to reset the Linux VC's when they start printing
       "funny-looking" characters.  For good measure, stty(1) is  called  with
       the sane argument in an attempt to get cooked mode back.

SEE ALSO
       clear(1), stty(1), tput(1)
