configure cli

configure cli [{ lines height } {columns width }]

Description

This command configures the number of lines and columns for the current login session only.

Syntax Description

lines Number of lines on the screen.
height Height of the screen.
columns Number of columns on the screen.
width Width of the screen.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The screen size specified takes effect over whatever screen size the session may have started with or whatever the current settings may be. If the terminal emulation supports dynamic resizing of the window, this will cause the size set by this command to be overriden. The command accepts either lines or columns or both in either order.
