- Difficulty: Easy
- Application: bash
We've all done it - accidentally used less or cat to list a file, and
ended up viewing binary instead. This usually involves all sorts of
control codes that can easily screw up your terminal display. There will
be beeping. There will be funny characters. There will be odd colour
combinations. At the end of it, your font will be replaced with
hieroglyphics and you don't know what to do. Well, bash is obviously
still working, but you just can't read what's actually going on! Send
the terminal an initialisation command:
reset
and all will be well again.
