## 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   dimensions  to  simplify  the  logic  of
           resizeterm.  The caller  must  ensure  that  the  window's
           dimensions fit within the actual screen dimensions.

## SEE ALSO
