For good measure, +.BR stty (1) +is called with the +.I sane +argument in an attempt to get cooked mode back. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR clear (1), +.BR stty (1), +.BR tput (1) +.SH AUTHOR +Rik Faith (faith@cs.unc.edu) +.SH AVAILABILITY +The reset command is part of the util-linux package and is available from +ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. |
