The calling application should fill in these areas with +appropriate data. + +The function attempts to resize all windows. +However, due to the calling convention of pads, +it is not possible to resize these +without additional interaction with the application. +.. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The function returns the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR 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 windows. +.. +.SH NOTES +While this function is intended to be used to support a signal handler +(i.e., for SIGWINCH), care should be taken to avoid invoking it in a +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). +.. +.SH AUTHOR +Thomas Dickey (from an equivalent function written in 1988 for BSD curses). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: -- cgit v1.1
