SYNOPSIS

9       #include <menu.h>
10       int set_menu_spacing(MENU *menu,
11                            int spc_description,
12                            int spc_rows,
13                            int spc_columns);
14       int menu_spacing(const MENU *menu,
15                        int* spc_description,
16                        int* spc_rows,
17                        int* spc_columns);

DESCRIPTION

20       The  function  set_menu_spacing  sets  the spacing informations for the
21       menu.  Its parameter spc_description  controls  the  number  of  spaces
22       between  an  item  name and an item description.  It must not be larger
23       than TABSIZE.  The menu system puts in the middle of this spacing  area
24       the  pad  character.   The remaining parts are filled with spaces.  The
25       spc_rows parameter controls the number of rows that  are  used  for  an
26       item.  It must not be larger than 3.  The menu system inserts the blank
27       lines between item rows, these lines will contain the pad character  in
28       the appropriate positions.  The spc_columns parameter controls the num‐
29       ber of blanks between columns of items.  It must  not  be  larger  than
30       TABSIZE.   A  value  of 0 for all the spacing values resets them to the
31       default, which is 1 for all of them.
32       The function menu_spacing passes back the spacing info  for  the  menu.
33       If a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not returned.
34

RETURN VALUE

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

PORTABILITY

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