.SH NAME
|
|
\fBwresize\fR \- resize a curses window
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBint wresize(WINDOW *\fP\fIwin\fP\fB, int \fP\fIlines\fP\fB, int \fP\fIcolumns\fP\fB);\fR
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is an extension to the curses library.
|
|
It reallocates storage for an \fBncurses\fR
|
|
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 \fBwbkgdset\fR) merged into them.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
The function returns the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR 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.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater than zero.
|
|
The dimensions are not compared to \fBcurses\fR screen dimensions to
|
|
simplify the logic of \fBresizeterm\fR.
|
|
The caller must ensure that the window's dimensions fit within the
|
|
actual screen dimensions.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is not possible to resize windows with SVr4 curses.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This extension of ncurses was introduced in mid-1995.
|
|
It was adopted in NetBSD curses (2001) and PDCurses (2003).
