Restores the virtual screen from a dump file.
#include <curses.h>
scr_restore( FileName)
char *FileName;
The scr_restore subroutine restores the virtual screen from the contents of a dump file. You create a dump file with the scr_dump subroutine. To update the terminal's display with the restored virtual screen, call the wrefresh or doupdate subroutine after restoring from a dump file.
To communicate the screen image across processes, use the scr_restore subroutine along with the scr_dump subroutine.
| ERR | Indicates the content of the dump file is incompatible with the current release of curses. |
| OK | Indicates that the virtual screen was successfully restored from a dump file. |
| FileName | Identifies the name of the dump file. |
To restore the contents of the virtual screen from the /tmp/virtual.dump file and update the terminal screen, use:
scr_restore("/tmp/virtual.dump");
doupdate();
