cmd | cls command

Cls is a internal command found inside windows command interpreter cmd, that is used for clearing the console window.
It does so by removing the entry of all previously entered commands, and their corresponding outputs. The command was first introduced in the MSDOS Version 2. Initially it was for command.com (command processor for MSDOS), which is the predecessor of cmd.exe (AKA Command Prompt).
It is one of the most used commands, and is offered by all Operating Systems in one way or another (ex. Linux has a command named clear which serves the same purpose). In this article, we would learn about this command and how to use it.
