Set terminal size in Linux bigger?

Hello

Does someone know how to set the size of the terminal in Linux bigger using C++?
I know how to do it in Windows, but not in Linux.

Could someone help we with that?
Google didn't delivered anything useful. :)

Thanks for reading,
Niely

I already tried that but got an error when including the curses.h library.
I was more thinking of all the replies telling him why resizing the window is not such a good idea. Normally the size of the terminal window is something that the user decides and not something you would expect the program to change. It's a bit similar to how you don't want websites to resize your web browser.

It's not even sure the user is running your program in a window. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (Not yet! Read everything first.), log in, and start your program. See, no windows! Linux can be used without a windowing system installed. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch back to the desktop environment.

^Yes but if I don' t change it the text doesn't fully display, and I think the user prefers a bigger made terminal over text what's unable to read. :)
