## Overview
Clears the terminal, for real. (But probably only on my system.)
## Why
Googling brings up bizarre advice:
* Calling a subprocess, when all you needed was to print a few bytes.
* Scrolling the viewport without clearing the scrollback.
Enough! `emptty` provides several functions including a "hard clear" that should empty the TTY for real.
## Usage
```go
import "github.com/mitranim/emptty"
emptty.ClearHard()
```
See https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mitranim/emptty for the full API.
## Compatibility
Works on everything I tested:
* MacOS Terminal.
* iTerm2.
* Microsoft Terminal running Ubuntu under WSL.
* Terminus (Sublime Text plugin).
May or may not work in other emulators.
