MENU_ITEMS(3)             NetBSD Programmer's Manual             MENU_ITEMS(3)


NAME

     item_count, menu_items, set_menu_items - attach items to menus or check
     correspondances


LIBRARY

     Curses Menu Library (libmenu, -lmenu)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <menu.h>

     int
     item_count(MENU *menu);

     ITEMS **
     menu_items(MENU *menu);

     int
     set_menu_items(MENU *menu, ITEM **items);


DESCRIPTION

     The item_count() menu function returns the number of items currently at-
     tached to the menu passed.  The menu_items() function returns a pointer
     to an array of item pointers that represent the menu items currently at-
     tached to the given menu.  Apart from using new_menu() (see menu_new(3))
     menu items may be attached to a menu by calling set_menu_items() any
     items currently attached to the menu will be detached and the NULL termi-
     nated array of new items will be attached to the menu.


RETURN VALUES

     Any function returning a string pointer will return NULL if an error oc-
     curs.  Functions returning an integer will return one of the following:

     E_OK         The function was successful.
     E_POSTED     The menu is already posted.
     E_CONNECTED  An item was already connected to a menu.
