NAME
       wresize - resize a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int wresize(WINDOW *win, int lines, int columns);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wresize  function  reallocates storage for an ncurses 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	wbkgndset)
       merged into them.

RETURN VALUE
       The  function returns the integer ERR upon failure and OK 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.

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

SEE ALSO
       resizeterm(3X).
