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.
