       mmeennuussppaacciinngg - Control spacing between menu items.

SYNOPSIS
       ##iinncclluuddee <>
       int setmenuspacing(MENU *menu,
                            int spcdescription,
                            int spcrows,
                            int spccolumns);
       int menuspacing(const MENU *menu,
                        int* spcdescription,
                        int* spcrows,
                        int* spccolumns);

DESCRIPTION
       The  function  sseettmmeennuussppaacciinngg  sets  the spacing informations for the
       menu.  ssppccddeessccrriippttiioonn controls the number of spaces  between  an  item
       name  and  an item description. It must not be larger than TTAABBSSIIZZEE. The
       menu system puts in the middle of this spacing area the pad  character.
       The remaining parts are filled with spaces.  ssppccrroowwss controls the num-
       ber of rows that are used for an item. It must not be  larger  than  3.
       The  menu system inserts the blank lines between item rows, these lines
       will contain the pad character in the appropriate positions.   ssppccccooll-
       uummnnss  controls  the  number of blanks between columns of items. It must
       not be larger than TABSIZE.  A value of 0 for all  the  spacing  values
       resets them to the default, which is 1 for all of them.
       The function mmeennuussppaacciinngg passes back the spacing info for the menu. If
       a pointer is NULL, this specific info is simply not returned.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Both routines return  EEOOKK  on  success.  sseettmmeennuussppaacciinngg  may  return
       EEPPOOSSTTEEDD if the menu is posted, or EEBBAADDAARRGGUUMMEENNTT if one of the spacing
       values is out of range.
