Re: [PD] words for style guide: rewind and reset
Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: >> "reset" should not be confused with "clear"... > > Hmm, what's the difference? I think I remember seeing [clear( and > thinking that it should ahve been [reset(. "clear" is used in [pipe]. I guess "clear" is used here because there are two ways to "reset" a [pipe]: One is a reset with outputting all scheduled delays, the other is a "mute" resetting with discarding scheduled delays. The former is called "flush" with [pipe], the latter is called "clear". With [delay] the "reset" method is called "stop" which sounds natural to me.
