| .SH NAME |
| \fBwresize\fR - resize a curses window |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| \fB#include <curses.h>\fR |
| .sp |
| \fBint wresize(WINDOW *win, int lines, int columns);\fR |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The \fBwresize\fR function reallocates storage for an \fBncurses\fR |
| window to adjust its dimensions to the specified values. |
| If either dimension is larger than the current values, the |
| window's data is filled with blanks that have the current background rendition |
| (as set by \fBwbkgndset\fR) merged into them. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| The function returns the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success. |
| It will fail if either of the dimensions less than or equal to zero, |
| or if an error occurs while (re)allocating memory for the window. |
| .SH NOTES |
| The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater than zero. |
| The dimensions are not compared to \fBcurses\fR screen dimensions to |
| simplify the logic of \fBresizeterm\fR. |
| The caller must ensure that the window's dimensions fit within the |
| actual screen dimensions. |
| .SH SEE ALSO |
| \fBresizeterm\fR(3X). |
