SYNOPSIS

wipeclean [-a animation] [-s speed] [options]

DESCRIPTION

wipeclean is a fun alternative to the clear command that clears the terminal screen with visual animations instead of simply scrolling content away. Multiple animation styles are available, each providing a different visual effect as the screen content is wiped.
The animation speed can be adjusted to control how quickly the clearing effect plays out. It is purely decorative and serves no functional advantage over the standard clear command, but adds a bit of visual flair to terminal workflows.

PARAMETERS

-a N

Animation type.
-s SPEED
Animation speed.
--help
Show help.

CAVEATS

Just for fun. Not faster than clear. Rust implementation.

HISTORY

wipeclean was created as a fun animated alternative to the clear command for terminal cleaning.
