32.SH NAME
Steve Kondikae271bc2015-11-15 02:50:53 +010033\fBmenu_userptr\fR \- associate application data with a menu item
Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +053034.SH SYNOPSIS
35\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
36.br
37int set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
38.br
39void *menu_userptr(const MENU *menu);
40.br
41.SH DESCRIPTION
42Every menu and every menu item has a field that can be used to hold
43application-specific data (that is, the menu-driver code leaves it alone).
44These functions get and set the menu user pointer field.
45.SH RETURN VALUE
46\fBmenu_userptr\fR returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fR).
47It does not set errno.
48.PP
49\fBset_menu_userptr\fP returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
50.SH SEE ALSO
51\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
52.SH NOTES
53The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
54\fB<curses.h>\fR.
55.SH PORTABILITY
56These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on
57Version 7 or BSD versions.
58.PP
59The user pointer is a void pointer.
60We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
