wresize(3X)                                                                                      wresize(3X)



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 speci-fied specified
       fied 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 wbkgndset) 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 win-dow. window.
       dow.

NOTES
       The  only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater than zero.  The dimensions are
       not compared to curses screen dimensions 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).
