NAME

6       wresize - resize a curses window
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curses.h>
10
11       int wresize(WINDOW *win, int lines, int columns);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  wresize  function  reallocates  storage  for  an ncurses window to
15       adjust its dimensions to the specified values.  If either dimension  is
16       larger than the current values, the window's data is filled with blanks
17       that have the current background rendition (as set by wbkgndset) merged
18       into them.
19

RETURN VALUE

21       The  function  returns  the integer ERR upon failure and OK on success.
22       It will fail if either of the dimensions less than or equal to zero, or
23       if an error occurs while (re)allocating memory for the window.
24

NOTES

26       The  only  restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater
27       than zero.  The dimensions are not compared to curses screen dimensions
28       to  simplify  the logic of resizeterm.  The caller must ensure that the
29       window's dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions.
