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

SYNOPSIS
  resize [-u] [-c] [-s[row col]]

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 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 .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 do
  not 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

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

  ~/.cshrc
      user's alias for the command.

BUGS
  The -u or -c must appear to the left of -s if both are specified.
