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.
- -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.
