           resizeterm - change the curses terminal size

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <curses.h>

           int resizeterm(int lines, int columns);

## DESCRIPTION

           This  is  an extension to the curses library.  It provides
           callers with a hook into the ncurses data to  resize  win-
           dows, primarily for use by programs running in an X Window
           terminal (e.g., xterm).  The function  resizeterm  resizes
           the  standard  and current windows to the specified dimen-
           sions, and adjusts other  bookkeeping  data  used  by  the
           ncurses library that record the window dimensions.

           When  resizing  the  windows, the function blank-fills the
           areas that are extended. The  calling  application  should
           fill in these areas with appropriate data.

           The function does not resize other windows.

## 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 windows.

## 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 malloc or  realloc
           may  have been interrupted, since it uses those functions.
