- Finally, ncurses can be configured to provide its own SIGWINCH
- handler, based on resizeterm.
+ The ncurses library provides a SIGWINCH signal handler, which pushes a
+ KEY_RESIZE via the wgetch() calls. When ncurses returns that code, it
+ calls resizeterm to update the size of the standard screen's window,
+ repainting that (filling with blanks or truncating as needed). It also
+ resizes other windows, but its effect may be less satisfactory because
+ it cannot know how you want the screen re-painted. You will usually
+ have to write special-purpose code to handle KEY_RESIZE yourself.
