-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- This is an extension to the curses library. It reallo-
- cates storage for an <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> window to adjust its dimen-
- sions 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 rendi-
- tion (as set by <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>) merged into them.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+ This <EM>ncurses</EM> extension to standard <EM>curses</EM> reallocates storage for a
+ <EM>curses</EM> window to adjust its dimensions to the specified values. If
+ either dimension is larger than its current value, the expanded part of
+ the window is filled with blanks merged with current background
+ rendition (as set by <STRONG><A HREF="curs_bkgd.3x.html">wbkgdset(3x)</A></STRONG>).
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- The function returns the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
- 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.

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