- <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><menu.h></STRONG>
-

-</PRE>
-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>menu</STRONG> library provides terminal-independent facilities
- for composing menu systems on character-cell terminals.
- The library includes: item routines, which create and mod-
- ify menu items; and menu routines, which group items into
- menus, display menus on the screen, and handle interaction
- with the user.
-
- The <STRONG>menu</STRONG> library uses the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> libraries, and a curses
- initialization routine such as <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> must be called
- before using any of these functions. To use the <STRONG>menu</STRONG>
- library, link with the options <STRONG>-lmenu</STRONG> <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG>.
-
-
- <STRONG>Current</STRONG> <STRONG>Default</STRONG> <STRONG>Values</STRONG> <STRONG>for</STRONG> <STRONG>Item</STRONG> <STRONG>Attributes</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>menu</STRONG> library maintains a default value for item
- attributes. You can get or set this default by calling
- the appropriate <STRONG>get_</STRONG> or <STRONG>set_</STRONG> routine with a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> item
- pointer. Changing this default with a <STRONG>set_</STRONG> function
- affects future item creations, but does not change the
- rendering of items already created.
-
-
- <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>Name</STRONG> <STRONG>Index</STRONG>
- The following table lists each <STRONG>menu</STRONG> routine and the name
- of the manual page on which it is described.

-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. Rou-
- tines that return an integer return one of 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.
-
- <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
- The menu is already posted.
-
- <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
- Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
- tion function.
-
- <STRONG>E_NO_ROOM</STRONG>
- Menu is too large for its window.
-
- <STRONG>E_NOT_POSTED</STRONG>
- The menu has not been posted.
-
- The menu driver code saw an unknown request code.
-
- <STRONG>E_NO_MATCH</STRONG>
- Character failed to match.
-
- <STRONG>E_NOT_SELECTABLE</STRONG>
- The designated item cannot be selected.
-
- <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
- No items are connected to the menu.
-
- <STRONG>E_REQUEST_DENIED</STRONG>
- The menu driver could not process the request.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3X)</A></STRONG> and 3X pages whose names begin "menu_" for
- detailed descriptions of the entry points.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
- The header file <STRONG><menu.h></STRONG> automatically includes the header
- files <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> and <STRONG><eti.h></STRONG>.
-
- In your library list, libmenu.a should be before libn-
- curses.a; that is, you want to say `-lmenu -lncurses', not
- the other way around (which would give you a link error
- using GNU <STRONG><A HREF="ld.1.html">ld(1)</A></STRONG> and many other linkers).
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- These routines emulate the System V menu library. They
- were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
