<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <B>wresize</B> - resize a curses window


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;curses.h&gt;</B>

       <B>int</B> <B>wresize(WINDOW</B> <B>*win,</B> <B>int</B> <B>lines,</B> <B>int</B> <B>columns);</B>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       The  <B>wresize</B>  function  reallocates storage for an <B>ncurses</B>
       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 <B>wbkgndset</B>) merged into
       them.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       The function returns the integer <B>ERR</B> upon failure  and  <B>OK</B>
       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.


</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they
       be greater than zero.  The dimensions are not compared  to
       <B>curses</B>   screen   dimensions  to  simplify  the  logic  of
       <B>resizeterm</B>.  The caller  must  ensure  that  the  window's
       dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions.
