NAME
       clear_console - clear the console


SYNOPSIS
       clear_console


DESCRIPTION
       clear_console clears your console if this is possible.  It looks in the environment for the terminal type
       and then in the terminfo database to figure out how to clear the screen. To clear  the  buffer,  it  then
       changes the foreground virtual terminal to another terminal and then back to the original terminal.
