RESIZE(1)                USER COMMANDS                  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)
