- The <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG> routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
- to the file <EM>filename</EM>.
-
- The <STRONG>scr_restore</STRONG> routine sets the virtual screen to the contents of
- <EM>filename</EM>, which must have been written using <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG>. The next call
- to <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> restores the screen to the way it looked in the dump file.
-
- 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><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">endwin(3x)</A></STRONG> call. The data is declared in-
- valid if the terminfo capabilities <STRONG>rmcup</STRONG> and <STRONG>nrrmc</STRONG> exist; also if the
