This is the right info. Be sure to scroll up to see how to use tgetent,
tgetstr, and tputs. You aren't likely to need any padding.
Essentially:
tgetent using getenv("TERM") gets you the whole entry from
/etc/termcap
tgetstr of "cl" gets you the "clear"
sequence
tputs outputs the "clear"
sequence

- especially the "cl" entry.
ISTR the database being at /etc/termcap normally.

, but I can't see how you're supposed
to clear the screen on a vt100 in
2.9BSD. I guess printf'ing ("\033c") would do the trick, but I assumed
there was a more proper way; something that leverages the vt100 termcap
entry and does the right thing. Anyone?
thx
