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.
       ~/.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.
