- Subject: clearing the scrollback buffer in mintty
Dave Korn "piped":
For gui consoles, use
alias cls='echo -e "\033c"'
which does clear the scrollback buffer.
Thanks Dave, this works on 'xterm' but not on 'mintty'.
On 'mintty' it does a 'clear' (i.e., clears the screen),
rather than a 'cls' (i.e., clears the screen and
scrollback buffer).
