DESCRIPTION

-       The  menu 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 menu library uses the curses libraries, and  a  curses
-       initialization  routine  such  as  initscr  must be called
-       before using any of these  functions.   To  use  the  menu
-       library, link with the options -lmenu -lcurses.
-
-   Current Default Values for Item Attributes
-       The  menu  library  maintains  a  default  value  for item
-       attributes.  You can get or set this  default  by  calling
-       the  appropriate  get_  or  set_  routine with a NULL item
-       pointer.  Changing  this  default  with  a  set_  function
-       affects  future  item  creations,  but does not change the
-       rendering of items already created.
-
-   Routine Name Index
-       The following table lists each menu routine and  the  name
-       of the manual page on which it is described.

NOTES

+       The  header  file  <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the  header files
+       <curses.h> and <eti.h>.
 
+       In your library list, libmenu.a should be before libncurses.a; that is,
+       you  should  say  "-lmenu  -lncurses",  not the other way around (which
+       would give a link-error when using static libraries).

PORTABILITY

+       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
 
+       The  menu facility was documented in SVr4.2 in Character User Interface
+       Programming (UNIX SVR4.2).
