ncurses seems to be able to save and redraw the contents of a terminal running in emulation over a pty stream, so presumably there is code in the ncurses library to read the characters on the screen in order for it to be able to save the screen for redrawing later.

: I was thinking about doing such things, but it requires the terminal to be under the complete control of the program; basically, the task as it stands requires a model of operation that is actually quite rare. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:49, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
