What: Addition of a clear screen flag (-w for wipe) which does a simple clear of the terminal before outputting stylized text.
Why: I hve text flowing out of a program that I was piping to fsrx, that left a bunch of output above the text I was trying to read and I found this fatiguing. Clearing the screen makes for a nicer reading experience, but I couldn't find an elegant way to do this without writing the text to a file, clearing the screen, then using fsrx to read the file.
How: Addition of the wipe flag as a simple boolean, simple if statement within the main function, if set it then runs print!("\x1B[2J\x1B[1;1H"); which seems to be the lightest weight way to clear the terminal nicely.
Checklist:
Allow edits from maintainersoption checked[your_username]/(ex.thatvegandev/featureX)It's such a small change that I believe it should be fine.
First time ever working with Rust, so I'm a complete newbie... So please educate me if I've done anything stupid!
