NAME

clearhint - erase terminal's status line  

SYNOPSIS

clearhint [ -T terminal ]  

DESCRIPTION

clearhint erases the status line (usually a ``25th line'') of the user's terminal. If the terminal does not have a status line, clearhint does nothing. The program is named for its main use, which is erasing messages sent by the hint(1L) program with the -f (make the hint last forever) option given.

clearhint uses the termcap(5) or terminfo(4) database (whichever is available) to determine how to move the cursor to the status line of each user's terminal.  

OPTIONS

-T terminal
Use terminal as the terminal type instead of the value given by the TERM environment variable.
