RESET(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             RESET(1)



NAME
     reset - reset the teletype bits to a sensible state

SYNOPSIS
     reset

DESCRIPTION
     _R_e_s_e_t sets the terminal to cooked mode, turns off cbreak and
     raw modes, turns on nl, and restores special characters that
     are undefined to their default values.

     This is most useful after a program dies leaving a terminal
     in a funny state; you have to type ``<LF>reset<LF>'' to get
     it to work then to the shell, as <CR> often doesn't work;
     often none of this will echo.

     It isn't a bad idea to follow _r_e_s_e_t with _t_s_e_t(1)

SEE ALSO
     stty(1), tset(1)

BUGS
     Doesn't set tabs properly; it can't intuit personal choices
     for interrupt and line kill characters, so it leaves these
     the old UNIX standards ^? (delete) for interrupt and @ for
     line kill.

     It could well be argued that the shell should be responsible
     for insuring that the terminal remains in a sane state; this
     would eliminate the need for this program.
