NAME
       getwin, putwin - read a window from, and write a window to, a file

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       WINDOW *getwin(FILE *filep);

       int putwin(WINDOW *win, FILE *filep);

DESCRIPTION
       The  getwin()  function	reads window-related data (written earlier by putwin()) from the stdio stream pointed to by filep. It then creates
       and initializes a new window using that data.

       The putwin() function writes all the data associated with the window pointed to by win to  the  stdio  stream  pointed  to  by  filep.  The
       getwin() function can later retrieve this data.

PARAMETERS
       filep	Is a pointer to a stdio stream.

       win	Is a pointer to a window.

RETURN VALUES
       On success, the getwin() function returns a pointer to the new window  created. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.

       On success, the putwin() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
