NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The following options may be used with resize: This option
       indicates  that  Bourne shell commands should be generated
       even if the user's current shell  is  not  /bin/sh.   This
       option indicates that C shell commands should be generated
       even if the user's current shell is  not  /bin/csh.   This
       option indicates 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.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  resize command 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
               %  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 do not 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

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       for the base termcap entry to modify.   user's  alias  for
       the command.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  -u  or  -c  must appear to the left of -s if both are
       specified.
