RESIZEWIN(1) General Commands Manual RESIZEWIN(1) NAME resizewin -- update terminal size SYNOPSIS resizewin [-z] DESCRIPTION The resizewin utility queries the terminal emulator for the current window size and updates the size known to the kernel using the TIOCSWINSZ ioctl. The following options are available: -z Do nothing unless the current kernel terminal size is zero. This is useful when run from a user's profile (shell startup) scripts: querying the window size is required for serial lines, but not when logging in over the network, as protocols like TELNET or SSH al- ready handle the terminal size by themselves. After a terminal window has been resized, running resizewin updates the kernel's window size to match the new size. resizewin is functionally similar to resize(1), which is part of the xterm(1) (ports/x11/xterm) distribution. However, resizewin only works with VT100/ANSI-compatible terminals and does not emit commands to set environment variables. The terminal is assumed to be VT100/ANSI compatible. The VT100/ANSI escape sequences are supported by virtually all modern terminals, in- cluding xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal, iTerm, Terminal.app, and PuTTY. SEE ALSO stty(1), tty(4) HISTORY The resizewin command first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0. FreeBSD 14.3 May 9, 2017 RESIZEWIN(1)
