| This <EM>ncurses</EM> extension to standard <EM>curses</EM> reallocates storage for a |
| <EM>curses</EM> window to adjust its dimensions to the specified values. If |
| either dimension is larger than its current value, the expanded part of |
| the window is filled with blanks merged with current background |
| rendition (as set by <STRONG><A HREF="curs_bkgd.3x.html">wbkgdset(3x)</A></STRONG>). |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| <STRONG>wresize</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success. It will fail if |
| either of the dimensions is less than or equal to zero, or if an error |
| occurs while (re)allocating memory for the window. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE> |
| The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater |
| than zero. They are <EM>not</EM> compared to the <EM>curses</EM> screen dimensions; this |
| keeps the logic of <STRONG><A HREF="resizeterm.3x.html">resizeterm(3x)</A></STRONG> simple. The caller must ensure that |
| the window's dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE> |
| It is not possible to resize windows with SVr4 <EM>curses</EM>. |
| |
| <EM>ncurses</EM> introduced this extension in mid-1995. NetBSD <EM>curses</EM> adopted |
| it in 2001, and <EM>PDCurses</EM> in 2003. |
