RESIZE(1)           X Version 11 (Release 4)            RESIZE(1)



  NAME
       resize - utility to set TERMCAP and terminal settings to
       current window size


  SYNOPSIS
       resize [-u] [-s [row col]]

  DESCRIPTION
       Resize prints a shell command for setting the TERM and
       TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size
       of xterm window from which the command is run.  For this
       output to take effect, resize must either be evaluated as
       part of the command line (usually done with a shell alias or
       function) or else redirected to a file which can then be
       read in.  From the C shell (usually known as /bin/csh), the
       following alias could be defined in the user's .cshrc:

               %  alias rs 'set noglob; `eval resize`'

       After resizing the window, the user would type:

               %  rs

       Users of versions of the Bourne shell (usually known as
       /bin/sh) that don't have command functions will need to send
       the output to a temporary file and the read it back in with
       the ``.'' command:

               $  resize >/tmp/out
               $  . /tmp/out

  OPTIONS
       The following options may be used with resize:

       -u      This option indicates that Bourne shell commands
               should be generated even if the user's current shell
               isn't /bin/sh.

  RESIZE(1)           X Version 11 (Release 4)            RESIZE(1)



       -c      This option indicates that C shell commands should
               be generated even if the user's current shell isn't
               /bin/csh.

       -s [rows columns]
               This option indicates that that Sun console escape
               sequences will be used instead of the special xterm
               escape code.  If rows and columns are given, resize
               will ask the xterm to resize itself.  However, the
               window manager may choose to disallow the change.

  FILES
       /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.
       ~/.cshrc  user's alias for the command.

  BUGS
       The -u or -c must appear to the left of -s if both are
       specified.

       There should be some global notion of display size; termcap
       and terminfo need to be rethought in the context of window
       systems.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD, and Ultrix-32 1.2)
