I was reading Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment and it says to use ioctl() to get the terminal's width and height. I wrote this program:
When I ran it, the numbers it outputted were in the thousands, and when I started Vim up again, the terminal got overloaded. Everything turned into static and the activity monitor showed Vim occupying 1 GB of memory. Is there a way to get the right terminal dimensions and avoid this problem?

I just changed from windows NT to XP and I am no longer able
to connect to my unix system. I used to use hyper terminal -- which acts as dumb terminal to my main frame unix system. I think one of the options used to be "direct to comX". This option isn't listed now. I use a serial port and the... (2 Replies)
Hi all.
I need to be able to get image (gif/jpg) height and
widths from the server so I can size pop-up windows to fit the
images. Is there a built in utility that accomplishes this on Unix
or Linux? (1 Reply)
I want to get the screen width and cursor positions.
When I used curses, all the screen content was cleared.
So Can I use curses to get the screen size without clearing anything in the window?
Or is there any other alternative???
I can use only C or C++. (0 Replies)
Hi,
i am very new to unix/linux programming. for one of the application i have to change the Terminal width and height. i did try this
if (ioctl (fd, TIOCGWINSZ, &win))
return;
if (y && y >24)
win.ws_row = y;
else
win.ws_row = 24;
if (x && x>80)... (2 Replies)
Hi all,
I have a shell script which uses "mailx -H" to get the subject of a email in a Linux system.
However, the subject is truncated, and I think it has something to do with the terminal width because it only returns the first 80 characters of each line.
I have tried "stty columns"... (7 Replies)
I have been having an extremely annoying problem. For the record, I am relatively new at this. I've only been working with unix-based OS's for roughly two years, mostly Xubuntu and some Kali. I am pretty familiar with the BASH language, as that's the default shell for debian. Now, I've made this... (16 Replies)
Hello All,
I have a text file containing output from a command that contains lots of escape/control characters that when viewed using vi or view, looks like jibberish. But when viewed using the cat command the output is formatted properly.
Is there any way to take the output from the cat... (7 Replies)

glutinitwindowposition
glutInitWindowPosition(3GLUT) GLUT glutInitWindowPosition(3GLUT)NAME
glutInitWindowPositionWindowPosition, glutInitWindowSize - set the initial window position and size respectively.
SYNTAX
void glutInitWindowSize(int width, int height);
void glutInitWindowPosition(int x, int y);
ARGUMENTS
width Width in pixels.
height Height in pixels.
x Window X location in pixels.
y Window Y location in pixels.
DESCRIPTION
Windows created by glutCreateWindow will be requested to be created with the current initial window position and size.
The initial value of the initial window position GLUT state is -1 and -1. If either the X or Y component to the initial window position is
negative, the actual window position is left to the window system to determine. The initial value of the initial window size GLUT state is
300 by 300. The initial window size components must be greater than zero.
The intent of the initial window position and size values is to provide a suggestion to the window system for a window's initial size and
position. The window system is not obligated to use this information. Therefore, GLUT programs should not assume the window was created at
the specified size or position. A GLUT program should use the window's reshape callback to determine the true size of the window.
EXAMPLE
If you would like your GLUT program to default to starting at a given screen location and at a given size, but you would also like to let
the user override these defaults via a command line argument (such as -geometry for X11), call glutInitWindowSize and glutInitWindowPosi-
tion before your call to glutInit. For example:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInitWindowSize(500, 300);
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100);
glutInit(&argc, argv);
...
}
However, if you'd like to force your program to start up at a given size, call glutInitWindowSize and glutInitWindowPosition after your
call to glutInit. For example:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitWindowSize(500, 300);
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100);
...
}
