NAME
getwin, putwin — dump window to, and reload window from, a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
WINDOW *getwin(FILE *filep);
int putwin(WINDOW *win, FILE *filep);
DESCRIPTION
The getwin() function reads window-related data stored in the file by
putwin(). The function then
creates and initialises a new window using that data.
The
putwin() function writes all data associated with win into the stdio stream to which filep points,
using an unspecified format. This information can be retrieved later using
getwin().
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
getwin() returns a pointer to the window it created. Otherwise, it returns
a null pointer.
Upon successful completion,
putwin() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
