menu_mark(3X) Library calls menu_mark(3X) NAME set_menu_mark, menu_mark - get and set the menu mark string SYNOPSIS #include <menu.h> int set_menu_mark(MENU *menu, const char *mark); const char *menu_mark(const MENU *menu); DESCRIPTION In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without high- lighting or color capability, the menu library marks selected items in a menu with a prefix string. The function set_menu_mark sets the mark string for the given menu. Call- ing set_menu_mark with a null menu item will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu while the menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior. The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with a non-NULL menu argument will change this default. The function menu_mark returns the menu's mark string (or NULL if there is none). RETURN VALUE The function menu_mark returns a pointer (which may be NULL). It does not set errno. The function set_menu_mark may return the following error codes: E_OK The routine succeeded. E_BAD_ARGUMENT Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error occurred (see errno(3)). PORTABILITY These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. AUTHORS Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
