NAME
     clear - clear the terminal screen

SYNOPSIS
     clear [term]


DESCRIPTION
     The clear utility clears the terminal screen if this is pos-
     sible. It looks in the environment for the terminal type, if
     this is not already specified by the term operand, and  then
     looks  up  the  terminfo database to figure out how to clear
     the screen.

OPERANDS
     term    Indicates  the  type  of  terminal.  Normally,  this
             operand  is unnecessary because the default is taken
             from the environment variable TERM.
