在Linux中用C模拟F11键

Question

I need to know how to simulate the F11 key, which toggles the gnome-terminal's console window to full screen in Linux.

The OS I am using Linux Mint 14 (based on Ubuntu 12.10) and using gcc compiler. The program is written in C

I have looked for this in other places but it is most things are for windows.

Thanks!

You can resize many terminals (from within the terminal) by using the escape sequence:

ESC [ 4 ; height ; width t

In C, this would look like:

printf("\e[4;%d;%dt", height, width);

There's no straightforward way to determine the maximum usable size.
