+\fB\%scr_dump\fP,
+\fB\%scr_restore\fP,
+\fB\%scr_init\fP,
+\fB\%scr_set\fP \-
+read/write a \fIcurses\fR screen from/to a file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint scr_dump(const char *\fIfilename\fP);
+\fBint scr_restore(const char *\fIfilename\fP);
+\fBint scr_init(const char *\fIfilename\fP);
+\fBint scr_set(const char *\fIfilename\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I curses
+provides applications the ability to write the contents of the screen
+to a file and read them back.
+To read/write a window
+(rather than the whole screen)
+from/to a file,
+use \fB\%getwin\fP(3NCURSES) and
+\fB\%putwin\fP(3NCURSES),
+respectively.
+.SS scr_dump
+\fB\%scr_dump\fP writes to
+.I filename
+the contents of the virtual screen;
+see \fB\%curscr\fP(3NCURSES).
+.SS scr_restore
+\fB\%scr_restore\fP updates the virtual screen to contain the contents
+of
+.I filename
+(if it was validly written with \fB\%scr_dump\fP).
+No refresh is performed;
+after performing any further desired updates,
+call \fB\%doupdate\fP(3NCURSES) or similar.
+.SS scr_init
+\fB\%scr_init\fP reads
+.I filename,
+using it to initialize
+.I curses
+data structures describing the state of the terminal screen.
+If these data are valid,
+.I curses
+bases its next update of the screen on this information rather than
+clearing it and starting from scratch.
+.PP
+The data fail the validity check
+.bP
+if the terminal employs
+.I \%term\%info
+capabilities
+.B \%exit_ca_mode
+.RB ( \%rmcup )
+or
+.B \%non_rev_rmcup
+.RB ( \%nrrmc )
+are defined,
+or
+.bP
+if
+.I curses
+knows that the terminal has been written to since the preceding
+\fB\%scr_dump\fP call.
+.PP
+\fB\%scr_init\fP could be used after \fB\%initscr\fP(3NCURSES) or
+\fB\%system\fP(3) to share the screen with another process that has
+done a \fBscr_dump\fP after \fB\%endwin\fP(3NCURSES).
+.SS scr_set
+The \fBscr_set\fP routine is a combination of \fBscr_restore\fP and
+\fBscr_init\fP. It tells the program that the information in \fIfilename\fP 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.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return \fBOK\fP on success and \fBERR\fP on failure.
+.PP
+X/Open defines no failure conditions.
+In this implementation,
+each function fails if it cannot open
+.I filename.
+.SH NOTES
+\fB\%scr_init\fP,
+\fB\%scr_set\fP,
+and
+\fB\%scr_restore\fP may be macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+X/Open Curses, Issue 4, describes these functions.
+.PP
+.\" SVID 4, p. 529
+SVr4 omitted the
+.I \%const
+qualifiers.
+.PP
+SVr4 documentation describes \fB\%scr_init\fP such that the dump data is
+also considered invalid \*(``if the time-stamp of the tty is old\*(''
+but does not define \*(``old\*(''.
