resize

[Folkert van Heusden]

Hi,

I was wondering: what is *the* procedure for handling screenrefreshes?
I saw endwin() + refresh() but also someone doing endwin() and initscr().
Furthermore: when should I do the resizeterm and such?
I'm asking this since in some situation resizing seems to fail.

What I'm doing now is:
SIGWINCH-handler:
        ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, &size);
        max_y = size.ws_row;
        max_x = size.ws_col;

and after that (NOT in the signalhandler itself: I use some global variable
to alert the main loop):

        resizeterm(max_y, max_x);
        touchwin(stdscr);
        endwin();
        refresh();
