DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The curses(3X) function scr_dump()	will copy the contents of the screen
     into a file.  The format of the screen image is as	described below.

     The name of the tty is 20 characters long and the modification time (the
     mtime of the tty that this	is an image of)	is of the type time_t.	All
     other numbers and characters are stored as	chtype (see <curses.h>).  No
     newlines are stored between fields.

	  <magic number:  octal	0433>
	  <name	of tty>
	  <mod time of tty>
	  <columns> <lines>
	  <line	length>	<chars in line>for each	line on	the screen
	  <line	length>	<chars in line>
	     .
	     .
	     .
	  <labels?>	       1, if soft screen labels	are present
	  <cursor row> <cursor column>

     Only as many characters as	are in a line will be listed.  For example, if
     the <line length> is 0, there will	be no characters following <line
     length>.  If <labels?> is TRUE, following it will be

	  <number of labels>
	  <label width>
	  <chars in label 1>
	  <chars in label 2>
	      .
