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)
