- This is an extension to the curses library. It reallocates storage for
- an <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>) merged into them.
