60 This is an extension to the curses library. It reallo-
61 cates storage for an <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> window to adjust its dimen-
62 sions to the specified values. If either dimension is
63 larger than the current values, the window's data is
64 filled with blanks that have the current background rendi-
65 tion (as set by <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>) merged into them.
68 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
69 The function returns the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
70 on success. It will fail if either of the dimensions less
71 than or equal to zero, or if an error occurs while
72 (re)allocating memory for the window.

76 The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they
77 be greater than zero. The dimensions are not compared to
78 <STRONG>curses</STRONG> screen dimensions to simplify the logic of
79 <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG>. The caller must ensure that the window's
80 dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions.

84 It is not possible to resize windows with SVr4 curses.
86 This extension of ncurses was introduced in mid-1995. It
87 was adopted in NetBSD curses (2001) and PDCurses (2003).
