gob requires an output stream (such as process.stdout).

Call vanish to magically remove the output stream of any lines previously written.

gob.vanish()

To indicate that only lines after a certain point should disappear, use set.

gob.set()

gob = require('gob').gob(process.stdout)

console.log 'foo'
console.log 'bar'

gob.set()

console.log 'erase me 1'
console.log 'erase me 2'
console.log 'erase me 3'

gob.vanish()

console.log 'biz'
console.log 'baz'

Creates the following output:

foo
bar
