menuuserptr(3X) menuuserptr(3X)

NAME
       mmeennuuuusseerrppttrr - associate application data with a menu item

SYNOPSIS
       ##iinncclluuddee <>
       int setmenuuserptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
       void *menuuserptr(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION
       Every  menu  and  every  menu item has a field that can be used to hold
       application-specific data (that is,  the  menu-driver  code  leaves  it
       alone).  These functions get and set the menu user pointer field.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Except  for  mmeennuuuusseerrppttrr  (which returns NNUULLLL on error), each function
       returns one of the following:

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

       The user pointer should be a void pointer.   We  leave  it  as  a  char
       pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
