changesize(1)                                       changesize(1)



NAME
     changesize - changes or displays the fields  of  the  `SIZE'
     resource of a file

SYNOPSIS
     changesize [+option] [-mminsize] [-pprefsize] [-v] file

ARGUMENTS
     +option
     -option
          Sets or clears the MultiFinder flag specified by
          option. +option sets the MultiFinder flag; -option
          clears the flag. You can specify multiple options at
          the same time on the command line.  Here are the
          MultiFinder flags that can be modified:

          file Specifies the Macintosh file that you want to
               change or query.  If the resource file is a
               separate file (prefixed with a percent sign), as
               in the case of a file in Apple Double format, you
               should specify the data fork file without the
               prefix, allowing changesize to locate the resource
               file itself.

          -mminsize
               Specifies the minimum RAM required by an
               application.

               32BitCompatible
                    If set, indicates that your application is
                    32-bit clean.

               CanBackground
                    If set, indicates that NULL events can be set
                    while in the background.

               ChildDiedEvents
                    If set, indicates that debuggers can set
                    ChildDiedEvents to 1. Normally set to 0.

               GetFrontClicks
                    Sets this flag if you want to receive the
                    mouse-down and mouse-up events.  These events
                    bring your application to the foreground when
                    the user clicks in one of the windows of your
                    application while it is suspended.

               MultiFinderAware
                    Responsibile for activating and deactivating
                    any windows in response to a suspend/resume
                    event, if set.

               OnlyBackground
                    Sets this flag if your application does not
                    have a user interface and will not run in the
                    foreground.

               OptionSwitch
                    Sets Switcher compatibility.  Normally set to
                    1.

               SaveScreen
                    Sets Switcher compatibility.  Normally set to
                    0.

               SuspendResume
                    Signifies that the application knows how to
                    process suspend/resume events, if set.

          -pprefsize
               Specifies an amount of memory in which the
               application will run effectively and that
               MultiFinder attempts to secure upon launch of the
               application.  This value is expressed in units of
               kilobytes (KB).

          -v   Prints the values of fields in the `SIZE' resource
               and then exits without changing anything.

DESCRIPTION
     changesize is based on an MPW tool that prints the fields of
     the `SIZE' resource of an application and allows the user to
     modify any of the fields of the `SIZE' resource.  The `SIZE'
     resource contains MultiFinder flags followed by the
     preferred size and minimum size of the application.

EXAMPLES
     To print the fields of the `SIZE' resource in a file named
     SpiffWriter, you could enter the following command:

        /mac/bin/changesize -v SpiffWriter

     To set the 32BitCompatible flag, clear the CanBackground
     flag, and set the preferred memory size to 500 KB for the
     same file, you could enter the following command:

        /mac/bin/changesize +32BitCompatible  \
        -CanBackground -p500 SpiffWriter


LIMITATIONS
     The changesize command is not supported in 24-bit mode.  You
     must run it from the command line while logged in with a
     32-bit Macintosh session type.  (See Login(1) for more
