menu_mark(3X)                                                    menu_mark(3X)



NAME
       menu_mark - get and set(7,n,1 builtins) the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) mark string(3,n)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <menu.h>
       int set_menu_mark(MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus), const char *mark);
       const char *menu_mark(const MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus));

DESCRIPTION
       In  order  to  make  menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) selections visible on older terminals without
       highlighting or color capability, the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) library marks selected items
       in(1,8) a menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) with a prefix string.

       The  function  set_menu_mark  sets  the mark string(3,n) for the given menu.
       Calling set_menu_mark with a null  menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)  item  will  abolish  the  mark
       string.   Note  that  changing the length of the mark string(3,n) for a menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)
       while the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.

       The default string(3,n) is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with  a  NULL
       menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) argument will change this default.

       The function menu_mark returns the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)'s mark string(3,n) (or NULL if(3,n) there
       is none).

RETURN VALUE
       The  function  menu_mark  returns  NULL   on   error.    The   function
       set_menu_mark may return the following error(8,n) codes:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error(8,n) occurred (see errno).

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

NOTES
       The  header  file(1,n)  <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file(1,n)
       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY
       These routines emulate the System V menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) library.  They were  not  sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
