mitem_userptr(3X)                               mitem_userptr(3X)



NAME
       mitem_userptr  -  associate  application  data with a menu
       item

SYNOPSIS
       #include 
       int set_item_userptr(ITEM *item, void *userptr);
       void *item_userptr(const ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION
       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 that field.

RETURN VALUE
       The  function  item_userptr  returns  a  pointer (possibly
       NULL).  It does not set errno.

       The set_item_userptr always returns E_OK (success).

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.

       The user pointer is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave
       it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
