31 .TH menu_requestname 3X 2024-03-16 "ncurses @NCURSES_MAJOR@.@NCURSES_MINOR@" "Library calls"
33 \fBmenu_request_by_name\fP,
34 \fBmenu_request_name\fP \-
35 handle printable menu request names
40 \fBconst char *menu_request_name(int \fIrequest\fP);
41 \fBint menu_request_by_name(const char *\fIname\fP);
44 The function \fBmenu_request_name\fP returns the printable name of a menu
47 The function \fBmenu_request_by_name\fP searches in the name-table for a request
48 with the given name and returns its request code.
49 Otherwise E_NO_MATCH is returned.
51 \fBmenu_request_name\fP returns \fBNULL\fP on error
52 and sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fP.
54 \fBmenu_request_by_name\fP returns \fBE_NO_MATCH\fP on error.
55 It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
57 These routines are specific to \fI\%ncurses\fP.
58 They were not supported on
59 Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
60 It is recommended that
61 any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
