This is an extension to the curses library. It provides
callers with a hook into the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> data to resize win-
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
dows, primarily for use by programs running in an X Window
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
terminal (e.g., xterm). The function <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG> resizes
the standard and current windows to the specified dimen-
sions, and adjusts other bookkeeping data used by the
<STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library that record the window dimensions such as
the <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> variables.
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
Most of the work is done by the inner function
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
<STRONG>resize_term</STRONG>. The outer function <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG> adds bookkeep-
ing for the SIGWINCH handler. When resizing the windows,
<STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> blank-fills the areas that are extended. The
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
calling application should fill in these areas with appro-
priate data. The <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> function attempts to resize
all windows. However, due to the calling convention of
pads, it is not possible to resize these without addi-
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
tional interaction with the application.
A support function <STRONG>is_term_resized</STRONG> is provided so that
applications can check if the <STRONG>resize_term</STRONG> function would
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
modify the window structures. It returns TRUE if the win-
dows would be modified, and FALSE otherwise.

Except as noted, these functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>
upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success. They will fail if either
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
of the dimensions are less than or equal to zero, or if an
error occurs while (re)allocating memory for the windows.

While these functions are intended to be used to support a
signal handler (i.e., for SIGWINCH), care should be taken
to avoid invoking them in a context where <STRONG>malloc</STRONG> or <STRONG>real-</STRONG>
<STRONG>loc</STRONG> may have been interrupted, since it uses those func-
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
tions.
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
If ncurses is configured to supply its own SIGWINCH han-
dler, the <STRONG>resizeterm</STRONG> function <STRONG>ungetch</STRONG>'s a <STRONG>KEY_RESIZE</STRONG> which
will be read on the next call to <STRONG>getch</STRONG>. This is used to
1998-03-01 12:21:12 +08:00
alert an application that the screen size has changed, and
that it should repaint special features such as pads that
1998-03-01 12:21:12 +08:00
cannot be done automatically.
If the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> or <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> are set,
this overrides the library's use of the window size
obtained from the operating system. Thus, even if a SIG-
WINCH is received, no screen size change may be recorded.
