Answer 1

void getmaxyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x); i believe...

Getting terminal width in C?

Answer 2

ncurses applications normally handle SIGWINCH and use the ioctl with TIOCGWINSZ to obtain the system's notion of the screensize. That may be overridden by the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS (see use_env ).

Given that, the ncurses global variables LINES and COLS are updated as a side-effect when wgetch returns KEY_RESIZE (in response to a SIGWINCH ) to give the size of stdscr (the standard screen representing the whole terminal).

You can of course use getmaxx , getmaxy and getmaxyx to get one or both of the limits for the x- and y-ordinates of a window. Only the last is standard (and portable).

Answer 3

i'm using this code:

struct winsize size;
if (ioctl(0, TIOCGWINSZ, (char *) &size) < 0)
    printf("TIOCGWINSZ error");
printf("%d rows, %d columns\n", size.ws_row, size.ws_col);

Answer 4

那么使用SCR_H和SCR_W呢？

Answer 5

the variables COLS, LINES are initialized to the screen sizes after initscr().

I'm not sure if they get updated on resize though.
