The function <STRONG>set_menu_items</STRONG> changes the item pointer array
of the given <EM>menu</EM>. The array must be terminated by a
<STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
The function <STRONG>menu_items</STRONG> returns the item array of the
given menu.
The function <STRONG>item_count</STRONG> returns the count of items in
<EM>menu</EM>.
</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
The function <STRONG>menu_items</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be
<STRONG>NULL</STRONG>). It does not set errno.
The function <STRONG>item_count</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (the general <STRONG>curses</STRONG>
error return value) if its <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
The function <STRONG>set_menu_items</STRONG> returns one of the following
codes on error:
<STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
<STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
ment.
<STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
No items are connected to the menu.
<STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
The menu is already posted.
<STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>

These routines emulate the System V menu library. They
were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the
<STRONG>item_count</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
