menu_items(3X) Library calls menu_items(3X)
set_menu_items, menu_items, item_count - make and break
connections between items and menus
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_items(MENU *menu, ITEM **items);
ITEM **menu_items(const MENU *menu);
int item_count(const MENU *menu);
The function set_menu_items changes the item pointer array of the
given menu. The array must be terminated by a NULL.
The function menu_items returns the item array of the given menu.
The function item_count returns the count of items in menu.
The function menu_items returns a pointer (which may be NULL). It
does not set errno.
The function item_count returns ERR (the general curses error
return value) if its menu parameter is NULL .
The function set_menu_items returns one of the following codes on
error:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the menu.
E_POSTED
The menu is already posted.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the item_count error
value as -1 (which is the value of ERR).
