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

If you find, you can't use erase-buffer and shows text is read only. You can use following replace function.

  (defun eshell/clear ()
  "Hi, you will clear the eshell buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
    (erase-buffer)
    (message "erase eshell buffer")))
