menu_mark(3X)							 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
       highlighting 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.
       Calling	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)).

SEE ALSO
       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES
       The  header  file  <menu.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY
       These routines emulate the System V menu	library.  They were  not  sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
