NAME
menu - present menus in curses windows
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
DESCRIPTION
The menu library provides terminal-independent facilities for composing
menu systems on character-cell terminals. The library includes: item
routines, which create and modify menu items; and menu routines, which
group items into menus, display menus on the screen, and handle inter‐
action with the user.
The menu library uses the curses libraries, and a curses initialization
routine such as initscr must be called before using any of these func‐
tions. To use the menu library, link with the options -lmenu -lcurses.
Current Default Values for Item Attributes
The menu library maintains a default value for item attributes. You
can get or set this default by calling the appropriate get_ or set_
routine with a NULL item pointer. Changing this default with a set_
function affects future item creations, but does not change the render‐
ing of items already created.
Routine Name Index
The following table lists each menu routine and the name of the manual
page on which it is described.

RETURN VALUE
Routines that return pointers return NULL on error. Routines that re‐
turn an integer return one of the following error codes:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
E_NO_MATCH
Character failed to match.
E_NO_ROOM
Menu is too large for its window.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the menu.
E_NOT_POSTED
The menu has not been posted.
E_NOT_SELECTABLE
The designated item cannot be selected.
E_POSTED
The menu is already posted.
E_REQUEST_DENIED
The menu driver could not process the request.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND
The menu driver code saw an unknown request code.

PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not sup‐
ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
A menu facility was documented in SVr4.2's Character User Interface
Programming document.
It is not part of X/Open Curses.
Aside from ncurses, there are few implementations:
• systems based on SVr4 source code, e.g., Solaris.
• NetBSD curses.
