20 The function set_menu_spacing sets the spacing informations for the
21 menu. spc_description controls the number of spaces between an item
22 name and an item description. It must not be larger than TABSIZE. The
23 menu system puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad character.
24 The remaining parts are filled with spaces. spc_rows controls the num‐
25 ber of rows that are used for an item. It must not be larger than 3.
26 The menu system inserts the blank lines between item rows, these lines
27 will contain the pad character in the appropriate positions. spc_col‐
28 umns controls the number of blanks between columns of items. It must
29 not be larger than TABSIZE. A value of 0 for all the spacing values
30 resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them.
31 The function menu_spacing passes back the spacing info for the menu. If
32 a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not returned.

35 Both routines return E_OK on success. set_menu_spacing may return
36 E_POSTED if the menu is posted, or E_BAD_ARGUMENT if one of the spacing
37 values is out of range.

47 These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on
48 Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any
49 code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
