User Commands                                           RESIZE(1)



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

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/resize [ -u | -c ] [ -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 then 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.

     -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  Sun  console   escape
             sequences  will  be  used instead of the VT100-style
             xterm escape codes.  If rows and columns are  given,
             resize  will  ask  the xterm to resize itself.  How-
             ever, the window manager may choose to disallow  the
             change.

             Note that  the  Sun  console  escape  sequences  are
             recognized  by  XFree86  xterm  and  by dtterm.  The

             though  they  are  normally  associated  with the -s
             option, they are parsed separately.
