NAME
windows, jps, reshape - create and initialize windows
SYNOPSIS
windows [ ox oy cx cy "command [args]" ] ...
jps
reshape [ -r ] x y
DESCRIPTION
For each set of arguments, windows makes a mux(9.1) layer with rectan‐
gle Rect(ox, oy, cx, cy) (see types(9.5)), then executes the command
therein. The command may be null (""). Any number of layers may be
specified; each command and its args appears as a single argument to
windows.
In windows that are not expected to be reused and do not need a shell,
it is good practice to invoke the command with `exec'; see sh(1).
Jps prints the rectangle coordinates of each window and the arguments
(if any) with which it was down-loaded, to help set up the windows com‐
mand.
Reshape adjusts its layer so that the display rectangle inside the bor‐
der is x by y pixels. Under option -r it adjusts the width/height ra‐
tio to x/y, with the new shape as large as will fit inside the old.

mux(9.1), ruler(9.1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Windows may adjust rectangles to a minimum size or to stay within the
usual layer bounds (8 pixels inside the screen edge).
Layer creation can fail if there are no process slots or memory left in
the terminal.
Reshape clips a layer that is too big (display rectangle > 786×1002)
and does nothing if the layer is too small (<100×40) or if there is no
space.
BUGS
Jps reports what has been downloaded to the 5620; usually this is not
the same as the command that must be used in windows to cause the down‐
load.
