WINDOW *getwin(FILE *filep);

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.
