I doubt this works using `termios`, but anyway as stated: Improve one of these questions to clarify, but don't double post. — πάντα ῥεῖ, Jan 20 '15 at 20:13
So the use of termios can make the problem ? They are two different question, this is just "how resize xterm" the other is "why the code randomly work". Thanks for help. — Lucas S., Jan 20 '15 at 20:42
Can you post the exact links for what you've found (markup syntax: `[]()` ) please? — πάντα ῥεῖ, Jan 20 '15 at 20:48
Here is the code who i'm using : [Xlib search a window by his name](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27910906/xlib-test-window-names/27913084#27913084) — Lucas S., Jan 20 '15 at 20:55

To the first question: the resize program would send the given escape sequence for its "-s" option. However, the feature is often turned off by packagers who feel that allowing an escape sequence to resize your terminal can be harmful. It can be turned on via menu (control/right/mouse Allow Window Ops) or using an X resource setting allowWindowOps
