       <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> - get and set the menu mark string

<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       In  order  to make menu selections visible on older termi-
       nals without highlighting or color  capability,  the  menu
       library  marks  selected  items  in  a  menu with a prefix
       string.

       The function <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> sets the mark  string  for  the
       given  menu.   Calling <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> with a null menu item
       will abolish the mark  string.   Note  that  changing  the
       length  of  the  mark  string for a menu while the menu is
       posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.

       The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling  <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG>
       with a non-<STRONG>NULL</STRONG> menu argument will change this default.

       The  function <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> returns the menu's mark string (or
       <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if there is none).


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       The function <STRONG>menu_mark</STRONG> returns a  pointer  (which  may  be
       <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).  It does not set errno.

       The  function <STRONG>set_menu_mark</STRONG> may return the following error
       codes:

       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.

       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
            Routine detected an incorrect or  out-of-range  argu-
            ment.

       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
