reset(1)						      General Commands Manual							  reset(1)

Name
       reset - reset terminal mode

Syntax
       reset

Description
       The  command  sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on nl, and restores special characters that are unde-
       fined to their default values.  The command also clears the LLITOUT bit in the local mode word.

       This is most useful after a program dies leaving a terminal in a funny state; you have to type ``<LF>reset<LF>'' to get it to work then	to
       the shell, as <CR> often doesn't work; often none of this will echo.

       It is a good idea to follow with

Restrictions
       Doesn't	set  tabs properly.  It can't interpret choices for interrupt and line kill characters, so it leaves these set to the local system
       standards.
