5.1.52 getdump
Syntax:
getdump ( link_expression )
Type:
- none
Purpose:
- reads the content of the entire file, resp. link, and restores all variables
from it. For ASCII links,
getdump is equivalent to an
execute(read( link )) command. For ssi links,
getdump should only be used on data which were previously
dump `ed.
Example:
| int i=3;
dump(":w example.txt");
kill i;
option(noredefine);
getdump("example.txt");
i;
==> 3

Restrictions:
getdump is not supported for DBM links, or for a link connecting
to stdin (standard input).
