NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

resize [ --uu | --cc ] [ --ss [ _r_o_w _c_o_l ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Resize prints a shell command for setting the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size of _x_t_e_r_m window from which the command is run. For this output to take effect, _r_e_s_i_z_e 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 _/_b_i_n_/_c_s_h), the following alias could be defined in the user's _._c_s_h_r_c:


        %  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 _/_b_i_n_/_s_h) 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
        $  . /tmp/out

OPTIONS

The following options may be used with _r_e_s_i_z_e:
-u
This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell isn't _/_b_i_n_/_s_h.
-c
This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell isn't _/_b_i_n_/_c_s_h.
-s [_r_o_w_s _c_o_l_u_m_n_s]
This option indicates that Sun console escape sequences will be used instead of the VT100-style _x_t_e_r_m escape codes. If _r_o_w_s and _c_o_l_u_m_n_s are given, _r_e_s_i_z_e will ask the _x_t_e_r_m to resize itself. However, the window manager may choose to disallow the change.

Note that the Sun console escape sequences are recognized by XFree86 _x_t_e_r_m and by _d_t_t_e_r_m. The _r_e_s_i_z_e program may be installed as _s_u_n_s_i_z_e, which causes makes it assume the --ss option.

The _r_o_w_s and _c_o_l_u_m_n_s arguments must appear last; though they are normally associated with the --ss option, they are parsed separately.
