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.
