resize(1X)resize(1X)NAMEresize - set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current xterm window size
SYNOPSISresize [-u] [-c] [-s[row col]]
OPTIONS
The following options may be used with resize: This option indicates
that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if the user's cur‐
rent 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
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 tempo‐
rary file and the read it back in with the “.” command:
$ resize > /tmp/out
$ . /tmp/out
FILES
for the base termcap entry to modify. user's alias for the command.
BUGS
The -u or -c must appear to the left of -s if both are specified.
