 .SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fBscr_dump\fR routine dumps the current contents of the virtual screen
-to the file \fIfilename\fR.
+.I curses
+provides applications the ability to write the contents of the screen
+to a file and read them back.
+To read/write a window
+(rather than the whole screen)
+from/to a file,
+use \fB\%getwin\fP(3X) and
+\fB\%putwin\fP(3X),
+respectively.
+.SS scr_dump
+\fB\%scr_dump\fP writes to
+.I filename
+the contents of the virtual screen;
+see \fB\%curscr\fP(3X).
+.SS scr_restore
+\fB\%scr_restore\fP updates the virtual screen to contain the contents
+of
+.I filename
+(if it was validly written with \fB\%scr_dump\fP).
+No refresh is performed;
+after performing any further desired updates,
+call \fB\%doupdate\fP(3X) or similar.
+.SS scr_init
+\fB\%scr_init\fP reads
+.IR filename ,
+using it to initialize
+.I curses
+data structures describing the state of the terminal screen.
+If these data are valid,
+.I curses
+bases its next update of the screen on this information rather than
+clearing it and starting from scratch.
 .PP
-The \fBscr_restore\fR routine sets the virtual screen to the contents
-of \fIfilename\fR, which must have been written using \fBscr_dump\fR.  The next
-call to \fBdoupdate\fR restores the screen to the way it looked in the dump
-file.
+The data fail the validity check
+.bP
+if the terminal employs
+.I \%term\%info
+capabilities
+.B \%exit_ca_mode
+.RB ( \%rmcup )
+or
+.B \%non_rev_rmcup
+.RB ( \%nrrmc )
+are defined,
+or
+.bP
+if
+.I curses
+knows that the terminal has been written to since the preceding
+\fB\%scr_dump\fP call.
 .PP
-The \fBscr_init\fR routine reads in the contents of \fIfilename\fR and uses
-them to initialize the \fBcurses\fR data structures about what the terminal
-currently has on its screen.  If the data is determined to be valid,
-\fBcurses\fR bases its next update of the screen on this information rather
-than clearing the screen and starting from scratch.  \fBscr_init\fR is used
-after \fBinitscr\fR or a \fBsystem\fR call to share
-the screen with another process which has done a \fBscr_dump\fR after its
-\fBendwin\fR call.  The data is declared invalid if the terminfo capabilities
-\fBrmcup\fR and \fBnrrmc\fR exist; also if the terminal has been written to
-since the preceding \fBscr_dump\fR call.
-.PP
-The \fBscr_set\fR routine is a combination of \fBscr_restore\fR and
-\fBscr_init\fR.  It tells the program that the information in \fIfilename\fR is
+\fB\%scr_init\fP could be used after \fB\%initscr\fP(3X) or
+\fB\%system\fP(3) to share the screen with another process that has
+done a \fBscr_dump\fP after \fB\%endwin\fP(3X).
+.SS scr_set
+The \fBscr_set\fP routine is a combination of \fBscr_restore\fP and
+\fBscr_init\fP.  It tells the program that the information in \fIfilename\fP is
 what is currently on the screen, and also what the program wants on the screen.
 This can be thought of as a screen inheritance function.
-.PP
-To read (write) a window from (to) a file, use the \fBgetwin\fR and
-\fBputwin\fR routines [see \fBcurs_util\fR(3X)].
 .SH RETURN VALUE
-All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
-upon success.
+These functions return \fBOK\fP on success and \fBERR\fP on failure.
 .PP
-X/Open defines no error conditions.
+X/Open defines no failure conditions.
 In this implementation,
-each will return an error if the file cannot be opened.
+each function fails if it cannot open
+.IR filename .
 .SH NOTES
-Note that \fBscr_init\fR, \fBscr_set\fR, and \fBscr_restore\fR may be macros.
+\fB\%scr_init\fP,
+\fB\%scr_set\fP,
+and
+\fB\%scr_restore\fP may be macros.
 .SH PORTABILITY
-The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, describes these functions (adding the const
-qualifiers).
+X/Open Curses,
+Issue 4 describes these functions.
 .PP
-The SVr4 docs merely say under \fBscr_init\fR that the dump data is also
-considered invalid "if the time-stamp of the tty is old" but do not define
-"old".
+.\" SVID 4, p. 529
+SVr4 omitted the
+.I \%const
+qualifiers.
+.PP
+SVr4 documentation describes \fB\%scr_init\fP such that the dump data is
+also considered invalid \*(``if the time-stamp of the tty is old\*(''
+but does not define \*(``old\*(''.
