tags 354308 fixed-upstream
thanks
Nowadays, there is text in the man page that covers
this point (see below). The changes went into upstream in
man-pages-3.04, released: 2008-07-15.
Perhaps this should be closed now?
Cheers,
Michael

The features in the "Get and Set Window Size" subsection
require the inclusion of <sys/ioctl.h>.
=====
Get and Set Window Size
Window sizes are kept in the kernel, but not used by the
kernel (except in the case of virtual consoles, where the
kernel will update the window size when the size of the
virtual console changes, for example, by loading a new
font).
The following constants and structure are defined in
<sys/ioctl.h>.
TIOCGWINSZ struct winsize *argp
Get window size.
TIOCSWINSZ const struct winsize *argp
Set window size.
The struct used by these ioctls is defined as
struct winsize {
unsigned short ws_row;
unsigned short ws_col;
unsigned short ws_xpixel; /* unused */
unsigned short ws_ypixel; /* unused */
};
