70        These  functions make it possible to set hook functions to be called at
71        various points in the automatic processing  of  input  event  codes  by
72        <STRONG>menu_driver</STRONG>.
73
74        The  function  <STRONG>set_item_init</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at menu-post time
75        and each time the selected item changes (after the change).   <STRONG>item_init</STRONG>
76        returns  the  current  item init hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is no such
77        hook).
78
79        The function <STRONG>set_item_term</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time
80        and each time the selected item changes (before the change).  <STRONG>item_term</STRONG>
81        returns the current item term hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there  is  no  such
82        hook).
83
84        The  function  <STRONG>set_menu_init</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at menu-post time
85        and just after the top row on the  menu  changes  once  it  is  posted.
86        <STRONG>menu_init</STRONG>  returns the current menu init hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is
87        no such hook).
88
89        The function <STRONG>set_menu_term</STRONG> sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time
90        and  just  before  the  top  row on the menu changes once it is posted.
91        <STRONG>menu_term</STRONG> returns the current menu term hook, if any (<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there  is
92        no such hook).

96        Routines  that  return  pointers  return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.  Other routines
