NAME
       menu_item_value, set_item_value, item_value - set and get menus item values

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmenu  -lcurses	[ library... ]
       #include <menu.h>

       int set_item_value(ITEM *item, int bool);

       int item_value(ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION
       Unlike  single-valued  menus,  multi-valued  menus  enable  the end-user to select one or more items from a menu. set_item_value() sets the
       selected value of the item -- TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected). set_item_value() may be used only with multi-valued menus. To make a
       menu multi-valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off() to turn off the option O_ONEVALUE. (See menu_opts(3CURSES)).

       item_value() returns the select value of item, either TRUE (selected) or FALSE (unselected).

RETURN VALUES
       set_item_value() returns one of the following:

       E_OK		   The routine returned successfully.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR	   System error.

       E_REQUEST_DENIED    The menu driver could not process the request.
