|---|
| 31 | .SH NAME | 
|---|
| 32 | \fBmenu_pattern\fR - get and set a menu's pattern buffer | 
|---|
| 33 | .SH SYNOPSIS | 
|---|
| 34 | \fB#include <menu.h>\fR | 
|---|
| 35 | .br | 
|---|
| 36 | int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern); | 
|---|
| 37 | .br | 
|---|
| 38 | char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu); | 
|---|
| 39 | .br | 
|---|
| 40 | .SH DESCRIPTION | 
|---|
| 41 | Every menu has an associated pattern match buffer.  As input events that are | 
|---|
| 42 | printable ASCII characters come in, they are appended to this match buffer | 
|---|
| 43 | and tested for a match, as described in \fBmenu_driver\fR(3X). | 
|---|
| 44 |  | 
|---|
| 45 | The function \fBset_menu_pattern\fR sets the pattern buffer for the given menu | 
|---|
| 46 | and tries to find the first matching item.  If it succeeds, that item becomes | 
|---|
| 47 | current; if not, the current item does not change. | 
|---|
| 48 |  | 
|---|
| 49 | The function \fBmenu_pattern\fR returns the pattern buffer of the given | 
|---|
| 50 | \fImenu\fR. | 
|---|
| 51 | .SH RETURN VALUE | 
|---|
| 52 | The function \fBmenu_pattern\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error.  The function | 
|---|
| 53 | \fBset_menu_pattern\fR may return the following error codes: | 
|---|
| 54 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 55 | \fBE_OK\fR | 
|---|
| 56 | The routine succeeded. | 
|---|
| 57 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 58 | \fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR | 
|---|
| 59 | System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR). | 
|---|
| 60 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 61 | \fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR | 
|---|
| 62 | Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. | 
|---|
| 63 | .TP 5 | 
|---|
| 64 | \fBE_NO_MATCH\fR | 
|---|
| 65 | Character failed to match. | 
|---|

|---|
| 71 | .SH PORTABILITY | 
|---|
| 72 | These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on | 
|---|
| 73 | Version 7 or BSD versions. |
