The library includes: item routines, +which create and modify menu items; and menu routines, which group items into +menus, display menus on the screen, and handle interaction with the user. + +The \fBmenu\fR library uses the \fBcurses\fR libraries, and a curses +initialization routine such as \fBinitscr\fR must be called before using any of +these functions. To use the \fBmenu\fR library, link with the options +\fB-lmenu -lcurses\fR. + +.SS Current Default Values for Item Attributes + +The \fBmenu\fR library maintains a default value for item attributes. You can +get or set this default by calling the appropriate \fBget_\fR or \fBset_\fR +routine with a \fBNULL\fR item pointer. Changing this default with a +\fBset_\fR function affects future item creations, but does not change the +rendering of items already created. + +.SS Routine Name Index + +The following table lists each \fBmenu\fR routine and the name of +the manual page on which it is described. + +.TS +l l . +\fBcurses\fR Routine Name Manual Page Name += +current_item \fBmitem_current\fR(3X) +free_item \fBmitem_new\fR(3X) +free_menu \fBmenu_new\fR(3X) +item_count \fBmenu_items\fR(3X) +item_description \fBmitem_name\fR(3X) +item_index \fBmitem_current\fR(3X) +item_init \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +item_name \fBmitem_name\fR(3X) +item_opts \fBmitem_opts\fR(3X) +item_opts_off \fBmitem_opts\fR(3X) +item_opts_on \fBmitem_opts\fR(3X) +item_term \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +item_userptr \fBmitem_userptr\fR(3X) +item_value \fBmitem_value\fR(3X) +item_visible \fBmitem_visible\fR(3X) +menu_back \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +menu_driver \fBmenu_driver\fR(3X) +menu_fore \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +menu_format \fBmenu_format\fR(3X) +menu_grey \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +menu_init \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +menu_items \fBmenu_items\fR(3X) +menu_mark \fBmenu_mark\fR(3X) +menu_opts \fBmenu_opts\fR(3X) +menu_opts_off \fBmenu_opts\fR(3X) +menu_opts_on \fBmenu_opts\fR(3X) +menu_pad \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +menu_pattern \fBmenu_pattern\fR(3X) +menu_request_by_name \fBmenu_requestname\fR(3X) +menu_request_name \fBmenu_requestname\fR(3X) +menu_spacing \fBmenu_spacing\fR(3X) +menu_sub \fBmenu_win\fR(3X) +menu_term \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +menu_userptr \fBmenu_userptr\fR(3X) +menu_win \fBmenu_win\fR(3X) +new_item \fBmitem_new\fR(3X) +new_menu \fBmenu_new\fR(3X) +pos_menu_cursor \fBmenu_cursor\fR(3X) +post_menu \fBmenu_post\fR(3X) +scale_menu \fBmenu_win\fR(3X) +set_current_item \fBmitem_current\fR(3X) +set_item_init \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +set_item_opts \fBmitem_opts\fR(3X) +set_item_term \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +set_item_userptr \fBmitem_userptr\fR(3X) +set_item_value \fBmitem_value\fR(3X) +set_menu_back \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +set_menu_fore \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +set_menu_format \fBmenu_format\fR(3X) +set_menu_grey \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +set_menu_init \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +set_menu_items \fBmenu_items\fR(3X) +set_menu_mark \fBmenu_mark\fR(3X) +set_menu_opts \fBmitem_opts\fR(3X) +set_menu_pad \fBmenu_attributes\fR(3X) +set_menu_pattern \fBmenu_pattern\fR(3X) +set_menu_spacing \fBmenu_spacing\fR(3X) +set_menu_sub \fBmenu_win\fR(3X) +set_menu_term \fBmenu_hook\fR(3X) +set_menu_userptr \fBmenu_userptr\fR(3X) +set_menu_win \fBmenu_win\fR(3X) +set_top_row \fBmitem_current\fR(3X) +top_row \fBmitem_current\fR(3X) +unpost_menu \fBmenu_post\fR(3X) +.TE +.SH RETURN VALUE +Routines that return pointers return \fBNULL\fR on error.
