-\fBmitem_userptr\fR - associate application data with a menu item

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

.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).
+The function \fBitem_userptr\fR returns a pointer (possibly \fBNULL\fR).
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
+.PP
+The \fBset_item_userptr\fP always returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
