resize(1X)                                             resize(1X)



NAME
     resize - sets  TERMCAP  and  terminal  settings  to  current
     window size

SYNOPSIS
     resize [-u] [-c] [-s[ row column]]

DESCRIPTION
     resize prints a shell command for setting the TERM and
     TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size
     of the xterm window from which the command is run.  For this
     output to take effect, resize must be either evaluated as
     part of the command line (usually done with a shell alias or
     function) or redirected to a file that can then be read.
     For the C shell, the following alias could be defined in the
     user's .cshrc:

        alias rs 'set noglob; `eval resize`'

     After resizing a window, the user would type

        rs

     If you are using the Bourne or Korn shell, you can achieve
     the same effect by placing the following in your .profile
     file:

        rs(
        {
        set noglob; `eval resize`
        }

     Alternately, you can send the output to a temporary file and
     then read it back in with the dot (.) command:

        resize >/tmp/out
        . /tmp/out


   Options
     The resize command accepts these options:

     -c      Indicates that C shell commands should be generated
             even if the user's current shell isn't /bin/csh.

     -s [row column]
             Causes resize to use Sun console escape sequences
             instead of the xterm escape sequences if row and
             column are not present.  If row and column are
             present, resize asks xterm to resize itself.  Howev-
             er, the window manager may choose to disallow the
             change.

resize(1X)                                             resize(1X)



     -u      Indicates that Bourne shell commands should be gen-
             erated even if the user's current shell isn't
             /bin/sh.

LIMITATIONS
     The -u or -c must appear before -s if both are specified.

     There should be some global notion of display size; terminal
     capabilities databases need to be rethought in the context
     of window systems.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD, Ultrix-32 1.2, and
