     NAME
          resize - utility to set TERMCAP and terminal settings to
          current window size

     SYNOPSIS
          rrrreeeessssiiiizzzzeeee [-u] [-s [row col]]

     DESCRIPTION
          _R_e_s_i_z_e prints a shell command for setting the TERM and
          TERMCAP environment variables to indicate 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uu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cc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ss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)
