+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>
+
+ <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>scr_dump(const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*filename);</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>scr_restore(const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*filename);</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>scr_init(const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*filename);</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>scr_set(const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*filename);</STRONG>
+
+
+</PRE>
+<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
+ 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> [see <STRONG>system</STRONG>(BA_LIB)]
+ 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.
+
+ 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>].
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
+ upon success.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Note that <STRONG>scr_init</STRONG>, <STRONG>scr_set</STRONG>, and <STRONG>scr_restore</STRONG> may be
+ macros.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these func-
+ tions (adding the const qualifiers).
+ The SVr4 docs merely say under <STRONG>scr_init</STRONG> that the dump data
+ is also considered invalid "if the time-stamp of the tty
+ is old" but don't define "old".
