.SH NAME
-\fBmitem_userptr\fR - associate application data with a menu item
+\fBmitem_userptr\fR \- associate application data with a menu item
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
.br
(that is, the menu-driver code leaves it alone). These functions get and set
that field.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-Except for \fBitem_userptr\fR (which returns \fBNULL\fR on error), each function returns one of the following:
-.TP 5
-\fBE_OK\fR
-The routine succeeded.
-.TP 5
-\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
-System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
+The function \fBitem_userptr\fR returns a pointer (possibly \fBNULL\fR).
+It does not set errno.
+.PP
+The \fBset_item_userptr\fP always returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
+.
.SH SEE ALSO
\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
.SH NOTES
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
-
-The user pointer should be a void pointer. We leave it as a char pointer for
-SVr4 compatibility.
+.PP
+The user pointer is a void pointer.
+We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
