 .SH NAME
-\fBmitem_userptr\fR - associate application data with a menu item

+associate application data with a menu item
 .SH SYNOPSIS
-\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
-.br
-int set_item_userptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
-.br
-void *item_userptr(const ITEM *item);
-.br
+.nf

+\fBint set_item_userptr(ITEM *\fIitem\fP, void *\fIuserptr\fP);
+\fBvoid *item_userptr(const ITEM *\fIitem\fP);

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Every menu item has a field that can be used to hold application-specific data
-(that is, the menu-driver code leaves it alone).  These functions get and set
+(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).
-.SH SEE ALSO
-\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
-.SH NOTES
-The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
-\fB<curses.h>\fR.
+The function \fBitem_userptr\fP returns a pointer (possibly \fBNULL\fP).
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
+.PP
+The \fBset_item_userptr\fP always returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
 .SH PORTABILITY
-These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on
