NAME

6       menu_userptr - associate application data with a menu item
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <menu.h>
10       int set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
11       void *menu_userptr(const MENU *menu);
12

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

19       menu_userptr  returns  a  pointer (which may be NULL).  It does not set
20       errno.
21
22       set_menu_userptr returns E_OK (success).
23

SEE ALSO

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

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.
