33 \fB@CLEAR@\fR \- clear the terminal screen
38 \fB@CLEAR@\fR clears your screen if this is possible,
39 including its scrollback buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is defined).
40 \fB@CLEAR@\fR looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in the
41 \fBterminfo\fR database to determine how to clear the screen.
43 \fB@CLEAR@\fR ignores any command-line parameters that may be present.
45 \fB@TPUT@\fR(1), \fBterminfo\fR(\*n)
47 This describes \fBncurses\fR
48 version @NCURSES_MAJOR@.@NCURSES_MINOR@ (patch @NCURSES_PATCH@).
