Clear the terminal screen if possible

Usage

var clear = require('clear');
clear();

Example

clear([opts])

• opts (Object)
• opts.fullClear (Boolean) Defaults to true, setting this to false will prevent this module from clearing the screen. This will not remove anything from the screen, but instead move your cursor to position 0,0. Much like printing a \r instead of a \n to reset the current line of output.

Installation

npm install clear
