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

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

DESCRIPTION
     _R_e_s_i_z_e prints a shell  command  for  setting  the  TERM  and
     TERMCAP  environment variables to indiciate the current size
     of _x_t_e_r_m window from which the command  is  run.   For  this
     output  to  take  effect, _r_e_s_i_z_e 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 /_b_i_n/_c_s_h),  the
     following alias could be defined in the user's ._c_s_h_r_c:

             %  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
     /_b_i_n/_s_h) that don't 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

OPTIONS
     The following options may be used with _r_e_s_i_z_e:

     -u      This option indicates  that  Bourne  shell  commands
             should be generated even if the user's current shell
             isn't /_b_i_n/_s_h.

     -c      This option indicates that C shell  commands  should
             be  generated even if the user's current shell isn't
             /_b_i_n/_c_s_h.

     -s [_r_o_w_s _c_o_l_u_m_n_s]
             This option indicates that that Sun  console  escape
             sequences  will be used instead of the special _x_t_e_r_m
             escape code.  If _r_o_w_s and _c_o_l_u_m_n_s are given,  _r_e_s_i_z_e
             will  ask  the _x_t_e_r_m to resize itself.  However, the
             window manager may choose to disallow the change.

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.

     There should be some global notion of display size;  termcap
     and  terminfo  need to be rethought in the context of window
     systems.  (Fixed in 4.3BSD, and Ultrix-32 1.2)
