Clears the terminal, for real. (But probably only on my system.)
Googling brings up bizarre advice:
- Calling a subprocess, when all you needed was to print a few bytes.
- Scrolling the viewport without clearing the scrollback.
Enough! emptty provides several functions including a "hard clear" that should empty the TTY for real.
import "github.com/mitranim/emptty"
emptty.ClearHard()See https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mitranim/emptty for the full API.
Works on everything I tested:
- MacOS Terminal.
- iTerm2.
- Microsoft Terminal running Ubuntu under WSL.
- Terminus (Sublime Text plugin).
May or may not work in other emulators.
I'm receptive to suggestions. If this library almost satisfies you but needs changes, open an issue or chat me up. Contacts: https://mitranim.com/#contacts
