RESIZE(1)                                               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 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.   How-
               ever,  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;  term-
       cap  and  terminfo  need to be rethought in the context of
       window systems.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD, and Ultrix-32 1.2)
