mitemuserptr(3X)                                            mitemuserptr(3X)



NAME
       mitemuserptr - associate application data with a menu item

SYNOPSIS
       ##include <>
       int setitemuserptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
       void *itemuserptr(const ITEM *item);

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

RETURN VALUE
       Except  for  itemuserptr  (which returns NUL on error), each function
       returns one of the following:

       EOK The routine succeeded.

       ESYSTEMEROR
            System error occurred (see errno).

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

NOTES
       The  header  file  <>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <>.

PORTABILITY
       These  routines  emulate the System V menu library.  They were not sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

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