NAME
       wresize - resize a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int wresize(WINDOW *win, int lines, int columns);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wresize  function  reallocates  storage  for an ncurses 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  wbkgnd-
       set) merged into them.

RETURN VALUE
       The  function  returns the integer ERR upon failure and OK 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.

NOTES
       The  only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater
       than zero.  The dimensions are not compared to  curses  screen  dimen-
       sions  to  simplify  the	 logic of resizeterm.  The caller must ensure
       that the window’s dimensions fit within the actual screen  dimensions.

SEE ALSO
       resizeterm(3X).

       curses).
