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] [-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.
              However, 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; termcap and terminfo
      need to be rethought in the context of window systems.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD,
      and Ultrix-32 1.2)
