RESIZE(1)                                                                                          RESIZE(1)



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

SYNOPSIS
       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  cur-rent current
               rent 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.  However, 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 resize program may be installed as sunsize, which causes makes it assume the -s option.

               The rows and columns arguments must appear last; though they are normally associated with the
               -s option, they are parsed separately.

FILES
       /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.

       ~/.cshrc       user's alias for the command.
