NAME

tsize - print terminal size

 

SYNOPSIS

edrc/lib/tsize

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/edrc

 

DESCRIPTION

this command returns the current width and height of the terminal in the COLUMNS and LINES variables. This output can be used directly to initialize the environment variables using the eval command: 

  eval `tsize`
The output of tsize is identical to the resize(1) command as provided when X11 is installed. As long as resize is available on the system it is used internally to resolve the terminal size, if not, a fallback exists to evaluate the terminal without the use of resize. Therefore it is not imperative to have X11 installed on the system when using tsize to resolve the terminal size.
