# 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)
As whatever the RandR extension was, doesn't matter/isn't documented at
the apropos level anyway.
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!
Control: tags 941422 fixed-upstream https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr/-/commit/f655af4ed98b11b66f2d49d273ad0d989fec6e5b 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.
