How do I get screen resolution in a shell script on Linux

Question

Environment

System: Linux Mint 18 / 19 Cinnamon 64-bit.

I need to dynamically account for the screen resolution in a POSIX shell script.

I prefer a function for re-use.

get_screen_resolution()
{
    xdpyinfo | awk '/dimensions:/ { print $2 }'
}

resolution=$(get_screen_resolution)
