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	envi-
       ronment	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 follow-
       ing 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 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
	       generated even if the user's current shell isn't /bin/sh.

       -c      This  option  indicates that C shell commands should be gener-
	       ated 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 dis-
	       allow 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	      user's alias for the command.
