- Hi SGI gurus.
-
- I would like to know if it is possible to determine the
- width of a window in order to control outputs like the
- command ls -C does for multiple columns output.
- I have heard that on Sun (?) the `stty size` gives this result.
- But what about SGI ?
-
- I must say that the description of ls -C in the man did not
- help me.
-
- Thanks in advance for your time in this.
