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.
