+.SH NAME
+\fBscr_dump\fR, \fBscr_restore\fR,
+\fBscr_init\fR, 
+\fBscr_set\fR - read (write) a \fBncurses\fR screen from (to) a file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <ncurses.h>\fR
+
+\fBint scr_dump(char *filename);\fR
+.br
+\fBint scr_restore(char *filename);\fR
+.br
+\fBint scr_init(char *filename);\fR
+.br
+\fBint scr_set(char *filename);\fR
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
+to the file \fIfilename\fR.
+
+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 \fBncurses\fR data structures about what the terminal
+currently has on its screen.  If the data is determined to be valid,
+\fBncurses\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 [see \fBsystem\fR(BA_LIB)] call to share
+the screen with another process which has done a \fBscr_dump\fR after its
+\fBendwin\fR call.  The data is declared invalid if the time-stamp of the tty
+is old or the terminfo capabilities \fBrmcup\fR and \fBnrrmc\fR exist.
+
+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(3)].
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
+upon success.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBscr_init\fR, \fBscr_set\fR, and \fBscr_restore\fR may be macros.
+.BUGS
+The time-stamp and rmcup/nrrmc checks are not implemented in \fBncurses\fR(3).
