NAME

6       mitem_userptr - associate application data with a menu item
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <menu.h>
10       int set_item_userptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
11       void *item_userptr(const ITEM *item);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Every  menu  item has a field that can be used to hold application-spe‐
15       cific data (that is, the menu-driver  code  leaves  it  alone).   These
16       functions get and set that field.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       The  function  item_userptr returns a pointer (possibly NULL).  It does
20       not set errno.
21
22       The set_item_userptr always returns E_OK (success).
23

SEE ALSO

25       curses(3X), menu(3X).
26

NOTES

28       The  header  file  <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
29       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

32       These  routines  emulate the System V menu library.  They were not sup‐
33       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
34
35       The user pointer is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave it as a char
36       pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
