NAME
       clear - clear the terminal screen

SYNOPSIS
       clear

DESCRIPTION
       clear clears your screen if this is possible.  It looks in the environā€
       ment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database to	figure
       out  how	 to  clear  the	 screen.   Some terminals can clear also their
       scrollback buffer to prevent access to potentially sensitive data.   If
       the  terminfo  entry for the terminal type contains extended capability
       E3, clear will use it to clear the scrollback buffer.

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