resize(1) X Version 11 (26 October 1988) resize(1)
NAME
resize - sets TERMCAP and terminal settings to current
window size
SYNOPSIS
resize [options. . .]
DESCRIPTION
The resize utility prints a shell command that sets the TERM
and TERMCAP environment variables to the current size of the
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 be redirected to a file which can then be read
in. From the C shell (usually known as /bin/csh), you could
define the following alias in your
% alias rs 'set noglob; eval `resize`'
After resizing the window, type:
% rs
If you are using versions of the the Bourne shell (usually
known as /bin/sh) that don't have command functions you need
to send the output to a temporary file and the read it back in
with the "." command:
$ resize >/tmp/out
$ . /tmp/out
OPTIONS
-u Generates Bourne shell commands even if your current
shell is not /bin/sh.
-c Generates C shell commands even if your current shell
is not /bin/csh.
-s [rows columns]
Specifies Sun console escape sequences instead of the
special xterm escape code. If you specify rows and
columns, resize asks xterm to resize itself. Some
window managers might not allow the change.
Note that the -u or -c option must appear to the left of -s
if both are specified.
FILES
/etc/termcap modifies the base termcap entry.
~/.cshrc user's alias for the command.
