The module defines these functions:
-\begin{funcdesc}{dump}{value, file}
+\begin{funcdesc}{dump}{value, file\optional{, version}}
Write the value on the open file. The value must be a supported
type. The file must be an open file object such as
\code{sys.stdout} or returned by \function{open()} or
read back by \function{load()}.
\versionadded[The \var{version} argument indicates the data
- format that \code{dumps} should use.]{2.4}
+ format that \code{dump} should use (see below)]{2.4}
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{load}{file}
contains an object that has) an unsupported type.
\versionadded[The \var{version} argument indicates the data
- format that \code{dumps} should use.]{2.4}
+ format that \code{dumps} should use (see below)]{2.4}
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{loads}{string}
