PROBE::TTY.RESIZE(3stap)

💖 PROBE::TTY.RESIZE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the TTY Tapset corner of the SystemTap manual — page PROBE::TTY.RESIZE(3stap), and no you did not misread that, we are literally doing probe documentation rn and it's giving very niche and very iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::tty.resize — the probe that fires when a terminal resize happens 🖥️📐

like. someone dragged the corner of their terminal window. and we noticed. periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

probe tty.resize {}

that's it. no arguments, no drama, just vibes. she takes nothing and she gives you everything (the everything is the values below, bestie, keep reading 🫶)

👑 VALUES 👑

these are the lil data girlies this probe hands you when it fires. one bullet each, in the exact order the original laid them out, because we do not rearrange other people's shelves 💅

• new_row — the new row value. yes bestie, row as in rows. the fresh one 🍓
• old_col — the old col value. the column situation from before ✨
• new_xpixel — the new xpixel value. pixels, in the x direction, new 🎀
• new_ypixel — the new ypixel value. same energy, but y 🦋
• name — the tty name. which terminal are we even talking about, bestie 👀
• new_col — the new col value. the column count, post-glow-up 💖
• old_xpixel — the old xpixel. the before picture 📸
• old_ypixel — the old ypixel. also the before picture, other axis 🌈
• old_row — the old row value. the row count from the past, rip 💀

ngl the ordering here is a little chaotic — new, old, new, new, name, new, old, old, old — but that's exactly how the original lists them, so that's exactly how we're keeping them. no cap, no reordering, not on my watch 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and deeply obsessed with terminal geometry. if you resize a terminal and a probe fires, that's not a coincidence, that's us 💅

mwah 💖 this has been the SystemTap Tapset Reference, and this page is dated September 2026 — so yes, we're documenting from the future, we're that girl 🕰️✨
