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

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/resize [ -u | -c ] [ -s [ row col ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     Resize prints a shell command for  setting  the  appropriate
     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 don't have command functions will need to send
     the output to a temporary file and then 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  generated 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.  How-
             ever, the window manager may choose to disallow  the
             change.

             Note  that the Sun console escape sequences are rec-
             ognized 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.

ENVIRONMENT
     TERM           set to "xterm" if not already set.

     TERMCAP        variable set on systems using termcap
