Command to clear shell while using emacs shell

Question

Is there a builtin command to clear shell while using shell in emacs?

If not, is there an elisp function to achieve the same?

Answer 1

With your point in the *shell* buffer, run:

C-c M-o

or

M-x comint-clear-buffer

NOTE: This also works in *Python* shell, but doesn't seem to work in *eshell*.
