.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
to the file \fIfilename\fR.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
to the file \fIfilename\fR.
The \fBscr_restore\fR routine sets the virtual screen to the contents
of \fIfilename\fR, which must have been written using \fBscr_dump\fR. The next
call to \fBdoupdate\fR restores the screen to the way it looked in the dump
file.

call to \fBdoupdate\fR restores the screen to the way it looked in the dump
file.
The \fBscr_init\fR routine reads in the contents of \fIfilename\fR and uses
them to initialize the \fBcurses\fR data structures about what the terminal
currently has on its screen. If the data is determined to be valid,

\fBendwin\fR call. The data is declared invalid if the terminfo capabilities
\fBrmcup\fR and \fBnrrmc\fR exist; also if the terminal has been written to
since the preceding \fBscr_dump\fR call.
The \fBscr_set\fR routine is a combination of \fBscr_restore\fR and
\fBscr_init\fR. It tells the program that the information in \fIfilename\fR is
what is currently on the screen, and also what the program wants on the screen.
This can be thought of as a screen inheritance function.

To read (write) a window from (to) a file, use the \fBgetwin\fR and
\fBputwin\fR routines [see \fBcurs_util\fR(3X)].
.SH RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
upon success.

.SH NOTES
Note that \fBscr_init\fR, \fBscr_set\fR, and \fBscr_restore\fR may be macros.
.SH PORTABILITY
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions (adding the const
qualifiers).
