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 environ ment 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 users .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 dont 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 OPTIONS The following options may be used with resize: -u This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be gen erated even if the users current shell isnt /bin/sh. -c This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the users current shell isnt /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. ~/.cshrc users alias for the command.
