RESIZE(1)                            SysV                            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 indiciate 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.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD,

     and Ultrix-32 1.2)
