+.SH NAME
+\fBmitem_userptr\fR - associate application data with a menu item
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
+.br
+int set_item_userptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
+.br
+void *item_userptr(const ITEM *item);
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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
+that field.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The function \fBitem_userptr\fR returns a pointer (possibly \fBNULL\fR).
+It does not set errno.
+.PP
+The \fBset_item_userptr\fP always returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
+.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
+.SH NOTES
+The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
+\fB<curses.h>\fR.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on
+Version 7 or BSD versions.
+.PP
+The user pointer is a void pointer.
+We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
+.SH AUTHORS
+Juergen Pfeifer.  Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric
+S. Raymond.
