menu_userptr(3X)														  menu_userptr(3X)

NAME

       menu_userptr - associate application data with a menu item

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
       void *menu_userptr(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION

       Every  menu  and  every	menu  item has a field that can be used to hold application-specific data (that is, the menu-driver code leaves it
       alone).	These functions get and set the menu user pointer field.

RETURN VALUE

       Except for menu_userptr (which returns NULL on error), each function returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The user pointer should be a void pointer.  We leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
