 The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
 to the file \fIfilename\fR.

+.PP
 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.

 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,

 since the preceding \fBscr_dump\fR call.

+.PP
 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)].

 The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions (adding the const
 qualifiers).

 The SVr4 docs merely say under \fBscr_init\fR that the dump data is also
 considered invalid "if the time-stamp of the tty is old" but do not define
 "old".
