+The subcommand tt(resize_term) resizes tt(stdscr) and all windows to
+given dimensions (windows that stick out from the new dimensions are
+resized down). The underlying curses extension (tt(resize_term call))
+can be unavailable. To verify, zeroes can be used for var(height) and
+var(width). If the result of the subcommand is tt(0), resize_term is
+available (tt(2) otherwise). Tests show that resizing can be normally

+tt(resize_term) subcommand is provided for versatility. Multiple
+system configurations have been checked and tt(zcurses end) and
+tt(zcurses refresh) are still needed for correct terminal state after
+resize. To invoke them with tt(resize_term), use var(endwin) argument.
+Using var(nosave) argument will cause new terminal state to not be

+and should normally be not needed.
