NAME
       clear_console - clear the console

SYNOPSIS
       clear_console

DESCRIPTION
       clear_console clears your console if this is possible.  It looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database
       to figure out how to clear the screen. To clear the buffer, it then changes the foreground virtual terminal to another  terminal  and  then
       back to the original terminal.
