NAME
       clear - clear the terminal screen

SYNOPSIS
       clear

DESCRIPTION
       clear clears your screen if this is possible.  It looks in
       the environment for the terminal type and then in the ter-
       minfo database to figure out how to clear the screen.

       clear ignores any command-line parameters that may be pre-
       sent.
