How do you clear the Lua console workspace?

I'm basically looking for an equivalent of Matlab's clear command. Is that possible?

It seems that Lua does not support this functionality. However the iPython Notebook (which supports Lua) has an option to restart the interpreter (Kernel->Restart).

You don't. Lua's "console workspace" interacts with the console in the only ways that the C standard library can do so. It can read from stdin. It can write to stdout and stderr. But that's it.

Clearing a console requires functionality beyond that, and the Lua interpreter simply doesn't have access to that functionality.
