The <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG> routine dumps the current contents of the
virtual screen to the file <EM>filename</EM>.
The <STRONG>scr_init</STRONG> routine reads in the contents of <EM>filename</EM> and
uses them to initialize the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> data structures about
- what the terminal currently has on its screen. If the
- data is determined to be valid, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> bases its next
- update of the screen on this information rather than
- clearing the screen and starting from scratch. <STRONG>scr_init</STRONG>
- is used after <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or a <STRONG>system</STRONG> call to share the screen
- with another process which has done a <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG> after its
- <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> call. The data is declared invalid if the terminfo
- capabilities <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG> and <STRONG>nrrmc</STRONG> exist; also if the terminal
- has been written to since the preceding <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG> call.
