menuuserptr(3X)                                              menuuserptr(3X)



NAME
       menuuserptr - associate application data with a menu item

SYNOPSIS
       ##include <>
       int setmenuuserptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
       void *menuuserptr(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  menuuserptr  (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.
