resize(XC)
resize --
utility to set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current window size
Command syntax
resize [-u] [-s [row col]]
Description
resize prints a shell command for setting the TERM
and TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the
current size of the scoterm or 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 can be
defined in the user's .cshrc:
alias resize '/usr/bin/X11/resize|egrep \´(LINES|COLUMNS)\´ \\
>! ~/.resize; source ~/.resize'
From the Korn shell (/bin/ksh), the following alias can be
defined in the user's .profile:
alias resize='eval `/usr/bin/X11/resize`'
After setting the csh or ksh aliases,
after resizing a window but before running an application, type:
resize
From the Bourne shell (/bin/sh,
after resizing a window but before running an application, type:
eval `/usr/bin/X11/resize`
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 is not /bin/sh.
-c-
This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated
even if the user's current shell is not /bin/csh.
-s [rows columns]-
This option indicates that 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 window to resize itself.
However, the window manager may choose to disallow the change.
Files
