RESIZE(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            RESIZE(1)



NAME
     resize - reset TERMCAP with current size of a window

SYNOPSIS
     resize

DESCRIPTION
     _R_e_s_i_z_e prints on its standard output the TERM and TERMCAP
     commands for the C-shell of the current size of a window.
     It is never executed directly, but should be aliased simi-
     larly to _t_s_e_t to cause the C-shell to execute the commands.

     For example, the following alias when executed as a command
     will reset the environment of the current shell:

          alias xs  'set noglob; eval `resize`'

FILES
     /etc/termcap   for the base termcap entry to modify.
     ~/.cshrc  user's alias for the command.

SEE ALSO
     csh(1), tset(1), xterm(1)

BUGS
     Ought to be able to generate the strings for the Bourne
     shell.  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)
