Re: Change terminal attributes

[Bryan Christ]

I'm not sure I understand your question--it sounds like you want to 
handle resizing the terminal.

When the terminal is resized the signal SIGWINCH is delivered to your 
program.  If you are using ncurses, this signal is caught by a default 
handler and you will get a value of KEY_RESIZE when you make the next 
call to getch().

If you are running other process or writing your own terminal emulator, 
it is likely you will then want to deliver SIGWINCH to the foreground 
job and (possibly) issue the TIOCSWINSZ ioctl to the pty.

For more information, take a look at the man pages for resizeterm() and 
tty_ioctl().
