.SH NAME
|
|
resize \- set environment and terminal settings to current xterm window size
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B \*n
|
|
[ \fB\-v\fP | \fB\-u\fP | \fB\-c\fP ] [ \fB\-s\fP [ \fIrow col\fP ] ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
prints a shell command for setting the appropriate environment variables
|
|
to indicate the current size of \fIxterm\fP window from which the command
|
|
is run.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
determines the command through several steps:
|
|
.bP
|
|
first, it finds the name of the user's shell program.
|
|
It uses the \fBSHELL\fP variable if set,
|
|
otherwise it uses the user's data from /etc/passwd.
|
|
.bP
|
|
then it decides whether to use Bourne shell syntax or C-Shell syntax.
|
|
It uses a built-in table of known shells,
|
|
which can be overridden by the \fB\-u\fP and \fB\-c\fP options.
|
|
.bP
|
|
then \fI\*n\fP asks the operating system for the terminal settings.
|
|
This is the same information which can be manipulated using \fIstty\fP.
|
|
.bP
|
|
then \fI\*n\fP asks the terminal for its size in characters.
|
|
Depending on whether the "\fB\-s\fP option is given,
|
|
\fI\*n\fP uses a different escape sequence to ask for this information.
|
|
.bP
|
|
at this point, \fI\*n\fP attempts to update the terminal settings
|
|
to reflect the terminal window's size in pixels:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.bP
|
|
if the \fB\-s\fP option is used,
|
|
\fI\*n\fP then asks the terminal for its size in pixels.
|
|
.bP
|
|
otherwise,
|
|
\fI\*n\fP asks the operating system for the information
|
|
and updates that after ensuring that the window's dimensions are
|
|
a multiple of the character height and width.
|
|
.bP
|
|
in either case, the updated terminal settings are done
|
|
using a different system call than used for \fIstty\fP.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.bP
|
|
then \fI\*n\fP updates the terminal settings to reflect any altered
|
|
values such as its size in rows or columns.
|
|
This affects the values shown by \fIstty\fP.
|
|
.bP
|
|
finally, \fI\*n\fP writes the shell command for setting the
|
|
environment variables to the standard output.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
For \*n's output to take effect,
|
|
\fI\*n\fP 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 \fI/bin/csh\fP), the following alias could be defined in the
|
|
user's \fI.cshrc\fP:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
% alias rs \*(AQset noglob; eval \fC\`\fP\*n\fC\`\fP\*(AQ
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
After resizing the window, the user would type:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
% rs
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
Users of versions of the Bourne shell (usually known as \fI/bin/sh\fP) 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:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ \*n > /tmp/out
|
|
$ .\0/tmp/out
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
The following options may be used with \fI\*n\fP:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the
|
|
user's current shell is not \fI/bin/csh\fP.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-s \fR[\fIrows columns\fP]
|
|
This option indicates that Sun console escape sequences will be used
|
|
instead of the VT100-style \fIxterm\fP escape codes.
|
|
If \fIrows\fP and
|
|
\fIcolumns\fP are given,
|
|
\fI\*n\fP will ask the \fIxterm\fP to resize itself using those values.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Both of the escape sequences used for this option
|
|
(first to obtain the window size and
|
|
second to modify it)
|
|
are subject to \fIxterm\fP's \fBallowWindowOps\fP resource setting.
|
|
The window manager may also choose to disallow the change.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The VT100-style escape sequence used to determine the
|
|
screen size always works for VT100-compatible terminals.
|
|
VT100s have no corresponding way to modify the screensize.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if
|
|
the user's current shell is not \fI/bin/sh\fP.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
This causes \fI\*n\fP to print a version number to the standard output,
|
|
and then exit.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that the Sun console escape sequences are recognized
|
|
by XFree86 \fIxterm\fP and
|
|
by \fIdtterm\fP.
|
|
The \fI\*n\fP program may be installed as \fIsunsize\fP,
|
|
which causes makes it assume the \fB\-s\fP option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIrows\fP and
|
|
\fIcolumns\fP arguments must appear last; though they are normally
|
|
associated with the \fB\-s\fP option, they are parsed separately.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
/etc/termcap
|
|
for the base termcap entry to modify.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
~/.cshrc
|
|
user's alias for the command.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
SHELL
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
determines the user's current shell by first checking if \fB$SHELL\fP
|
|
is set, and using that.
|
|
Otherwise it determines the user's shell by looking in the password file
|
|
(/etc/passwd).
|
|
Generally Bourne-shell variants (including \fIksh\fP)
|
|
do not modify \fB$SHELL\fP,
|
|
so it is possible for \fI\*n\fP to be confused if one runs
|
|
\fI\*n\fP from a Bourne shell spawned from a C shell.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
TERM
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
sets this to "__default_termname__" if not already set.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
TERMCAP
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
sets this variable on systems using termcap,
|
|
e.g., when \*n is linked with the \fItermcap\fP library
|
|
rather than a \fIterminfo\fP library.
|
|
The latter does not provide the complete text for a termcap entry.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
COLUMNS, LINES
|
|
.I \*N
|
|
sets these variables on systems using terminfo.
|
|
Many applications (including the curses library)
|
|
use those variables when set to override their screensize.
