- This is an extension to the curses library. It provides
- callers with a hook into the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> data to resize win-
- dows, primarily for use by programs running in an X Window
- terminal (e.g., xterm). The function <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG> resizes
- the standard and current windows to the specified dimen-
- sions, and adjusts other bookkeeping data used by the
- <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library that record the window dimensions such as
- the <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> variables.
-
- Most of the work is done by the inner function
- <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG>. The outer function <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG> adds bookkeep-
- ing for the SIGWINCH handler. When resizing the windows,
- <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> blank-fills the areas that are extended. The
- calling application should fill in these areas with appro-
- priate data. The <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> function attempts to resize
- all windows. However, due to the calling convention of
- pads, it is not possible to resize these without addi-
- tional interaction with the application.
-
- A support function <STRONG>is_term_resized</STRONG> is provided so that
- applications can check if the <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> function would
- modify the window structures. It returns TRUE if the win-
- dows would be modified, and FALSE otherwise.
