RESET(1)
NAME
reset − reset the teletype bits to a sensible state
USAGE
reset
DESCRIPTION
Reset sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak and raw modes, turns on nl (to allow carriage return for newlines), and restores undefined special characters to their default values.
Reset is most useful after a program dies, leaving a terminal in an abnormal state. If this is the case, type “<LF>reset<LF>” to get reset to successfully execute to the Shell, because a <CR> will not often work. Frequently, none of this will echo. It is a good idea to follow reset with tset (1).
CAUTIONS
Reset does not set tabs properly.
It cannot intuit personal choices for interrupt and line kill characters. Therefore, it leaves these characters set to the local system standards.
