Reset

Terminal reset operations: SGR attribute reset, full terminal reset (RIS), and programmatic reset. Reset behavior determines how reliably an application can return the terminal to a known state. Differences in what RIS resets (cursor position, modes, scroll regions, character sets) can cause subtle bugs.
