eshell: how do you clear the *eshell* buffer?

[Petter Gustad]

Probably a stupid question, but how do you clear the *eshell* buffer
in eshell mode? C-h C-w does not work since it's a read-only
buffer.

Clearing EShell Buffer

When the eshell buffer gets too large, you can simple type the command
clear within the eshell to clear the entire buffer.

(defun eshell/clear ()
  "04Dec2001 - sailor, to clear the eshell buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
    (erase-buffer)))
