Something like this (untested) :

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <termios.h>

    void main(void)
    {
        struct winsize w;

        int fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);

        ioctl(fd, TIOCGWINSZ, &w);

        printf("Size is %dx%d (pixels %dx%d)\n",
                w.ws_col, w.ws_row, w.ws_xpixel, w.ws_ypixel);

	close(fd);
    }

Cheers,
