# apropos randr
xbacklight (1) - adjust backlight brightness using RandR extension
xrandr (1) - primitive command line interface to RandR extension
Therefore this should be
xrandr (1) - adjust size, orientation, reflection of a screen (using
RandR extension)
I've merged this change upstream in:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr/-/commit/f655af4ed98b11b66f2d49d273ad0d989fec6e5b
By the way
$ man xrandr
...
Xrandr is used to set the size, orientation and/or reflection of the
outputs for a screen. It can also set the screen size.

You already mentioned that!
I also reworded that upstream to try to show the difference between the size of
the outputs displaying parts of the logical screen, versus the overall size of
the logical screen.
A more in-depth explanation, with diagrams, is shown at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xorgproto/-/blob/xorgproto-2024.1/randrproto.txt?ref_type=tags#L54
but I don't think that will translate into the man page.
