wresize(3X)							   wresize(3X)

NAME
       wresize - resize	a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       This is an extension to the curses library.  It 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 wbkgdset)	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 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).

AUTHOR
       Thomas Dickey (from an equivalent function  written  in	1988  for  BSD
       curses).
