NAME

6       set_item_userptr, item_userptr - associate application data with a menu
7       item
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <menu.h>
11       int set_item_userptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
12       void *item_userptr(const ITEM *item);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Every menu item has a field that can be used to  hold  application-spe‐
16       cific  data  (that  is,  the  menu-driver code leaves it alone).  These
17       functions get and set that field.
18

RETURN VALUE

20       The function item_userptr returns a pointer (possibly NULL).   It  does
21       not set errno.
22
23       The set_item_userptr always returns E_OK (success).
24

SEE ALSO

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

NOTES

29       The  header  file  <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
30       <curses.h>.
31

PORTABILITY

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