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.
