MENU_USERPTR(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   MENU_USERPTR(3)

NAME

     menu_userptr, set_menu_userptr -- get or set user pointer for a menu

LIBRARY

     Curses Menu Library (libmenu, -lmenu)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <menu.h>

     char *
     menu_userptr(MENU *menu);

     int
     set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu, char *ptr);

DESCRIPTION

     The menu_userptr() function returns the pointer to the user defined pointer for the given menu.  This pointer is set by the
     set_menu_userptr() function.

RETURN VALUES

     The functions return one of the following error values:

     E_OK	     The function was successful.
     E_SYSTEM_ERROR  There was a system error during the call.

SEE ALSO

     curses(3), menus(3)

NOTES

     The header <menu.h> automatically includes both <curses.h> and <eti.h>.

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.
