How to fix the display garbled on the Linux/Unix/OS X/BSD system console. In view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solution in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

Sometimes my explorations output strange things on the screen. For example, I accidentally looked at the contents of the binary file-- cat / sbin/*-- with the cat command. In this case, you will no longer be able to access the bash/ksh/zsh in the terminal. A large number of strange characters fill your terminal. These characters will hide what you type and the characters you want to display, and replace them with strange symbols. To clean up the garbage on these screens, you can use the following methods. The editor will describe to you how to actually clean the terminal screen or reset the terminal in a Linux/-like Unix system.

Clear command

The clear command cleans up the contents of the screen, along with its rollback cache. (LCTT translation note: in this case, the echo of the characters you enter is also garbled. Don't worry, enter correctly and enter will take effect. )

$clear

You can also press CTRL+L to clean the screen. However, the clear command does not clean up the terminal screen (LCTT translation note: this sentence is difficult to understand, it should mean that running the clear command does not really delete the previous display, you can still see the previous display by flipping up the page). Use the following method to really empty the terminal and get your terminal back to normal.

Use the reset command to repair the display

To fix the normal display, simply enter the reset command. It will initialize the terminal for you again:

$reset

Or:

$tput reset

If the reset command doesn't work, enter the following command to get the painting back to normal:

$stty sane

Press CTRL + L to clean the screen (or enter the clear command):

Clear uses the ANSI escape sequence to actually empty the bash terminal

Another option is to enter the following ANSI escape sequence:

Clearecho-e "\ 033c"

The following is an example of the output of these two commands:
