reset or fix your terminal if corrupted by cat a binary file

11:47 am

Sometimes, you’ll make the mistake of cat a binary file.  The goobley-gokey output can sometimes corrupt your terminal screen and any characters you see during output or typing doesn’t make any sense.

To fix this or reset the terminal characters, type at the terminal prompt:

echo -e “\xF”

    I'd like to tell you there's another solution for this problem. You can just execute the command "reset". It works great!
