NAME

reshape − reshape the console textport

SYNOPSIS

reshape −s
reshape −40
reshape −24
reshape llx lly xlen ylen

DESCRIPTION

Reshape allows the textport to be reshaped. The textport is the window that is used for non-graphics programs. Some programs, such as vi, assume that the window is a particular size according to the specified termcap entry. The entry wsiris, for example, assumes a window of 40 lines by 80 columns.  One may add entries to /etc/termcap to support different window sizes. 

The −s flag causes reshape to set the window to be 40 rows by 80 columns in the center of the screen.  The −40 flag is equivalent to the −s flag.  The −24 flag causes reshape to set the window to be 24 rows of 80 columns in the center of the screen. 

Instead of selecting a standard configuration, the size and location may be set to any desired values.  The x and y values of the lower left corner of the textport window may be specified with llx and lly, in screen coordinates (pixels). The size of the window may be specified with xlen and ylen which specify the number of columns and rows respectively, in characters.
