     RESIZE(1)           X Version 11 (Release 5)            RESIZE(1)



     NAME
          resize - utility to set TERMCAP and terminal settings to
          current window size

     SYNOPSIS
          resize [-u | -c] [-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 'eval "`resize -c`"'

          After resizing the window, the user would type:

                  %  rs

          Likewise from the Bourne shell (usually known as /bin/sh),
          the following function could be defined in the user's
          .profile:

                  $  rs() { eval `resize -u` ; export TERMCAP ; }

     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.
                  This option only works through a remote login to a
                  DG/UX system from the console xterm of a Sun
                  workstation.

     FILES
          /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.

     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)
