</PRE>
<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>menu_items</STRONG>  - make and break connections between items and
       menus


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;menu.h&gt;</STRONG>
       int set_menu_items(MENU *menu, ITEM **items);
       ITEM **menu_items(const MENU *menu);
       int item_count(const MENU *menu);


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       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>RETURN VALUES</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>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).

<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The header file <STRONG>&lt;menu.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the header
       file <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       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>).

       curses by Eric S. Raymond.
