wresize - resize a curses window
#include <curses.h>
int wresize(WINDOW *win, int lines, int columns);
This is an extension to the curses library. It 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 wbkgdset) merged into
them.
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.
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.
It is not possible to resize windows with SVr4 curses.
This extension of ncurses was introduced in mid-1995. It was
adopted in NetBSD curses (2001) and PDCurses (2003).

Thomas Dickey (from an equivalent function written in 1988 for
BSD curses).
