Miscellaneous Library Functions                   menu_format(3X)



NAME
     menu_format - set and get menu sizes

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     int set_menu_format(MENU *menu, int rows, int cols);
     void menu_format(const MENU *menu, int *rows, int *cols);

DESCRIPTION
     The function set_menu_format sets the maximum  display  size
     of the given menu.  If this size is too small to display all
     menu items, the menu will be made scrollable. If  this  size
     is  larger than the menus subwindow and the subwindow is too
     small to display all menu items, post_menu() will fail.

     The  default  format  is  16  rows,   1   column.    Calling
     set_menu_format  with  a  null menu pointer will change this
     default.  A zero row or column argument  to  set_menu_format
     is interpreted as a request not to change the current value.

     The  function  menu_format  returns  the  maximum-size  con-
     straints  for  the  given menu into the storage addressed by
     rows and cols.

RETURN VALUE
     These routines returns one of the following:

     E_OK The routine succeeded.

     E_SYSTEM_ERROR
          System error occurred (see errno).

     E_BAD_ARGUMENT
          Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

     E_POSTED
          The menu is already posted.

     E_NOT_CONNECTED
          No items are connected to the menu.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES
     The header file  automatically includes  the  header
     file .

PORTABILITY
     These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were
     not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
