34 \fBmenu_items\fR - make and break connections between items and menus
36 \fB#include <menu.h>\fR
38 int set_menu_items(MENU *menu, ITEM **items);
40 ITEM **menu_items(const MENU *menu);
42 int item_count(const MENU *menu);
45 The function \fBset_menu_items\fR changes the item pointer array of the given
46 \fImenu\fR. The array must be terminated by a \fBNULL\fR.
48 The function \fBmenu_items\fR returns the item array of the given menu.
50 The function \fBitem_count\fR returns the count of items in \fImenu\fR.
52 The function \fBmenu_items\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error.
54 The function \fBitem_count\fR returns \fBERR\fR (the general \fBcurses\fR error
55 return value) on error.
57 The function \fBset_menu_items\fR returns one of the following codes on error:
60 The routine succeeded.
63 System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
66 Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
69 The menu is already posted.
72 No items are connected to the menu.
74 \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
76 The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
79 These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on
80 Version 7 or BSD versions.
82 The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the \fBitem_count\fR error value
83 as -1 (which is the value of \fBERR\fR).
