Description
Rewinding an OutputDestination means that the Scheduled Output's file will be cleared before any more data is added to it. This happens even if the original file was opened for appending.
It may be desirable to rewind output destinations when repeating a time evolution calculation. If the destinatons are not rewound, data from the second calculation will be appended to data from the first.
Only file-based OutputDestinations can be rewound. This command has no effect on GraphicsUpdate or MessageWindowStream.
