RESIZE(1X11)            COMMAND REFERENCE            RESIZE(1X11)



NAME
     resize - set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current window
     size

SYNOPSIS
     resize [-u] [-s [row col]]

     This is a user-contributed client.

DESCRIPTION
     The resize utility 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 then read it back in with
     the ``.'' command:

          resize >/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.
