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:
5 E_OK The routine succeeded.
5 E_BAD_ARGUMENT Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
5 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 supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
