.SH NAME
context where \fBmalloc\fR or \fBrealloc\fR may have been interrupted,
since it uses those functions.
.
+.PP
+If ncurses is configured to supply its own SIGWINCH handler,
+the \fBresizeterm\fR function ungetch's a \fBKEY_RESIZE\fR which
+will be read on the next call to \fBgetch\fR.
+This is used to alert an application that the screen size has changed,
+and that it should repaint special features such as pads that cannot
+be done automatically.
+.
.SH SEE ALSO
-\fBwresize\fR(3x).
+\fBwresize\fR(3X).
.
.SH AUTHOR
Thomas Dickey (from an equivalent function written in 1988 for BSD curses).
