It uses the ``cl'' capability from .IR termcap (5) to figure out how to clear the screen. .PP If the .I \-l option is specified, the status line of the terminal will be disabled also, using the ``ds'' capability. .PP .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR termcap(3) .IR termcap(5) .SH BUGS (?Feature) If the needed capabilities cannot be found, it quietly does nothing. .SH NOTES By Gordon A. Moffett. This is intended to replace the old `clear(1)', which didn't know about status lines. -- Gordon A. Moffett { allegra, decvax!decwrl } !amd70!proper hplabs!intelca!proper!gam
