DESCRIPTION

NOTES
53       The  ncplane n provided to ncmultiselector_create must not be NULL.  It
54       will be freely resized by the new ncmultiselector.
55
56       ncmultiselector_selected returns the  index  of  the  option  currently
57       highlighted.   It  stores  to  the  n-ary bitmap pointed to by selected
58       based on the currently-selected options.
59
60       ncmultiselector_plane will return the ncplane on which  the  widget  is
61       drawn.
62
63       Input  should be run through ncmultiselector_offer_input to take advan‐
64       tage of common controls.  It will handle the up and down arrows,  along
65       with  PageUp  and PageDown.  If the mouse is enabled, the mouse scroll‐
66       wheel and mouse clicks on the scroll arrows will be handled.
67
68       ncmultiselector_destroy destroys the backing ncplane, as does ncmultis‐
69       elector_create in the event of any error.
70

RETURN VALUES
72       ncmultiselector_create  returns  NULL  on  an  error, in which case the
73       passed ncplane is destroyed.
74
75       ncmultiselector_selected returns -1 if there are no items, or if  n  is
76       not  equal  to  the number of items.  It otherwise returns the index of
77       the currently highlighted option, and writes a bitmap to selected based
78       off the selected items.
