# mxclear: `$ clear` with fashion
*mxclear* is an alternative to the `clear` command on Linux or the `cls` command
on Windows. Instead of just boringly ereasing the screen - why not wipe the screen
with a matrix flash?
## Installation
```console
cargo install --force mxclear
```
## Usage
### Replace `clear` with `mxclear`
If you want to: replace the `clear` command with `mxclear`:
```bash
alias clear=mxclear
```
In order to enable this for each session, add that line to your `~/.bashrc`.
To revert this change, simply remove it from the `~/.bashrc` and use
```bash
unalias clear
```
### The `mxclear` command
```text
`$ clear` with fashion
Usage: mxclear [OPTIONS]
Options:
--style Sets the style froma dotted notation [env: MXCLEAR_STYLE=] [default: green]
--speed <speed> Sets the intervall between updating a line in milliseconds [env: MXCLEAR_SPEED=] [default: 14]
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
### Using environment variables
Environment variables can control the style and speed of the "matrix line". Simply set
`MXCLEAR_STYLE` and/or `MXCLEAR_SPEED` with a value that you could as well provide as
a command-line argument.
```bash
export MXCLEAR_STYLE=red.bold # red and bold text
export MXCLEAR_SPEED=80 # intervall of 80 milliseconds
```
