<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       The function <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG> sets the spacing information
       for the menu.  Its parameter <STRONG>spc_description</STRONG> controls  the
       number of spaces between an item name and an item descrip-
       tion.  It must not be larger than <STRONG>TABSIZE</STRONG>.  The menu  sys-
       tem  puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad char-
       acter.  The remaining parts are filled with  spaces.   The
       <STRONG>spc_rows</STRONG>  parameter  controls  the number of rows that are
       used for an item.  It must not be larger than 3.  The menu
       system  inserts  the  blank lines between item rows, these
       lines will contain the pad character  in  the  appropriate
       positions.   The <STRONG>spc_columns</STRONG> parameter controls the number
       of blanks between columns of items.  It must not be larger
       than  TABSIZE.   A  value  of 0 for all the spacing values
       resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them.
       The function <STRONG>menu_spacing</STRONG> passes back the spacing info for
       the  menu.   If  a  pointer is NULL, this specific info is
       simply not returned.


</PRE>
<H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       Both routines return <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG>  on  success.   <STRONG>set_menu_spacing</STRONG>
       may  return <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG> if the menu is posted, or <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGU-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>MENT</STRONG> if one of the spacing values is out of range.

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