-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- 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 da-
- ta 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 writ-
- ten to since the preceding <STRONG>scr_dump</STRONG> call.
-
- The <STRONG>scr_set</STRONG> routine is a combination of <STRONG>scr_restore</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>scr_init</STRONG>. It tells the program that the information in
- <EM>filename</EM> 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 <STRONG>getwin</STRONG>
- and <STRONG>putwin</STRONG> routines [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_util.3x.html">curs_util(3x)</A></STRONG>].
