💫 NAME 💫

okay bestie listen up — this is /clear, the Profanity /clear command. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it lives in the man(1) page for the Profanity XMPP client, and it is here to wipe your screen clean like it never happened 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

<cute>it clears the current window.</cute> like, gone. poof. sparkling. ✨

but wait — here's the tea 🍓: if you set persist_history, you can still get your history back by pressing PAGE UP. so the scrollback isn't actually dead, it's just lowkey chilling somewhere else. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/clear

/clear persist_history <on|off>

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • persist_history on|off — controls whether or not the screen gets cleared persistently. yes bestie, persistently is doing a LOT of work in that sentence and we respect it. 🙈

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

/clear

/clear persist_history

/clear persist_history on
fr fr, that's the whole page. clear the window, decide if you want that history to persist, press PAGE UP if you do. main character energy, zero notes. 💜

and that's a wrap, gorgeous 🫶 this whole thing is from Profanity 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08 — go slay some windows, mwah 💖🌈
