51 <STRONG>wresize
</STRONG> - resize a curses window
55 <H2>SYNOPSIS
</H2><PRE>
56 <STRONG>#include
</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h
></STRONG>
58 <STRONG>int
</STRONG> <STRONG>wresize(WINDOW
</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,
</STRONG> <STRONG>int
</STRONG> <STRONG>lines,
</STRONG> <STRONG>int
</STRONG> <STRONG>columns);
</STRONG>
62 <H2>DESCRIPTION
</H2><PRE>
63 This is an extension to the curses library. It reallo-
64 cates storage for an
<STRONG>ncurses
</STRONG> window to adjust its dimen-
65 sions to the specified values. If either dimension is
66 larger than the current values, the window's data is
67 filled with blanks that have the current background rendi-
68 tion (as set by
<STRONG>wbkgdset
</STRONG>) merged into them.
72 <H2>RETURN VALUE
</H2><PRE>
73 The function returns the integer
<STRONG>ERR
</STRONG> upon failure and
<STRONG>OK
</STRONG>
74 on success. It will fail if either of the dimensions less
75 than or equal to zero, or if an error occurs while
76 (re)allocating memory for the window.
81 The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they
82 be greater than zero. The dimensions are not compared to
83 <STRONG>curses
</STRONG> screen dimensions to simplify the logic of
84 <STRONG>resizeterm
</STRONG>. The caller must ensure that the window's
85 dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions.
