NAME

       menu options

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<menu.h>

       int set_menu_opts(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       Menu_Options menu_opts(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION
       The function set_menu_opts sets all the given menu's option bits	 (menu
       option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).

       The  function  menu_opts_on  turns on the given option bits, and	leaves
       others alone.

       The function menu_opts_off turns	off the	given option bits, and	leaves
       others alone.

       The function menu_opts returns the menu's current option	bits.

       The following options are defined (all are on by	default):

       O_ONEVALUE
	    Only one item can be selected for this menu.

       O_SHOWDESC
	    Display the	item descriptions when the menu	is posted.

       O_ROWMAJOR
	    Display the	menu in	row-major order.

       O_IGNORECASE
	    Ignore the case when pattern-matching.

       O_SHOWMATCH
	    Move the cursor to within the item name while pattern-matching.

       O_NONCYCLIC
	    Don't  wrap	 around	 next-item  and	previous-item, requests	to the
	    other end of the menu.

       O_MOUSE_MENU
	    If user clicks with	the mouse and it does not  fall	 on  the  cur-
	    rently active menu,	push KEY_MOUSE and the MEVENT data back	on the
	    queue to allow processing in another part of the calling program.

RETURN VALUE
       Except for menu_opts, each routine returns one of the following:

       E_OK The	routine	succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno(3)).

       E_POSTED
	    The	menu is	already	posted.

       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
