I hope not. ;-)

Look at the prototype for realloc. It needs two arguments.
e.g. - char *p=realloc (txtBuf,  strlen( szInput ) + 1 );

Nope. The expression sizeof(txtBuf) will give the size of the
txtBuf pointer variable itself, not the size of the allocation to
which it points. You can't get the allocated size using the
sizeof operator. (Which is usually evaluated at compile time
not at run time.)
