+ <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> - get and set the menu mark string
+

+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><menu.h></STRONG>
+ int set_menu_mark(MENU *menu, const char *mark);
+ const char *menu_mark(const MENU *menu);

+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ In order to make menu selections visible on older termi-
+ nals without highlighting or color capability, the menu
+ library marks selected items in a menu with a prefix
+ string.
+
+ The function <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> sets the mark string for the
+ given menu. Calling <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> with a null menu item
+ will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the
+ length of the mark string for a menu while the menu is
+ posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
+
+ The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG>
+ with a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> menu argument will change this default.
+
+ The function <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> returns the menu's mark string (or
+ <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is none).
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ The function <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> returns <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. The func-
+ tion <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> may return the following error codes:
+
+ <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
+
+ <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
+ System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
+
+ <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
+ Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
+ ment.
