DESCRIPTION

23       The  getwin()  function  reads  window-related data (written earlier by
24       putwin()) from the stdio stream pointed to by filep.  It  then  creates
25       and initializes a new window using that data.
26
27
28       The  putwin()  function  writes all the data associated with the window
29       pointed to by win to the stdio stream pointed to by filep. The getwin()
30       function can later retrieve this data.
31
