\fB#include <curses.h>\fR

\fBint scr_dump(const char *\fP\fIfilename\fP\fB);\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents
|
|
of the \fIvirtual screen\fP
|
|
to the file \fIfilename\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBscr_restore\fR routine sets the \fIvirtual screen\fP to the contents
|
|
of \fIfilename\fR, which must have been written using \fBscr_dump\fR.
|
|
The next call to \fBdoupdate\fR restores
|
|
the \fIphysical screen\fP to the way it looked in the dump file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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,
|
|
\fBcurses\fR bases its next update of the screen on this information rather
|
|
than clearing the screen and starting from scratch.
|
|
\fBscr_init\fR is used
|
|
after \fBinitscr\fR or a \fBsystem\fR call to share
|
|
the screen with another process which has done a \fBscr_dump\fR after its
|
|
\fBendwin\fR(3X) call.
|
|
The data is declared invalid
|
|
.bP
|
|
if the terminfo capabilities \fBrmcup\fR and \fBnrrmc\fR exist, also
|
|
.bP
|
|
if the terminal has been written to 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
X/Open defines no error conditions.
|
|
In this implementation,
|
|
each will return an error if the file cannot be opened.
|
|
.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).
|
|
.PP
|
|
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\*(''.
