NAME
       scrdump - format of curses screen image file

SYNOPSIS
       scrdump(file)

DESCRIPTION
       The curses(3X) function scrdump() copies 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
       timet.  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>
                .
                .
                .
