menu_userptr(3X) menu_userptr(3X) NAME menu_userptr - associate application data with a menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) item SYNOPSIS #include <menu.h> int set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus), void *userptr); void *menu_userptr(const MENU *menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)); DESCRIPTION Every menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) and every menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) 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(7,n,1 builtins) the menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus) user pointer field. RETURN VALUE Except for menu_userptr (which returns NULL on error(8,n)), each function returns one of the following: E_OK The routine succeeded. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error(8,n) occurred (see errno). SEE ALSO curses(3X), menu(3x,n,n tk_menuSetFocus)(3X). 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. The user pointer should be a void pointer. We leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility. AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond. menu_userptr(3X)
