SCRDUMP(4-SVR4)    RISC/os Reference Manual     SCRDUMP(4-SVR4)



NAME
     scr_dump - format of curses screen image file.

SYNOPSIS
     scrdump(file)

DESCRIPTION
     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 modifica-
     tion 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>
              .
              .
              .
