RESIZE(1)						RESIZE(1)



NAME

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


SYNOPSIS

       resize [ -u | -c ] [ -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  Sun  console escape
	       sequences will be used instead of the  VT100-style
	       xterm  escape  codes.   If  rows	 and  columns are
	       given, resize will ask the xterm to resize itself.
	       However, the window manager may choose to disallow
	       the change.

	       Note that the Sun  console  escape  sequences  are
	       recognized  by  XFree86	xterm and by dtterm.  The
	       resize program may be installed as sunsize,  which
	       causes makes it assume the -s option.

	       The  rows  and columns arguments must appear last;
	       though they are normally associated  with  the  -s
	       option, they are parsed separately.


FILES

       /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.
