31.TH menu_userptr 3X ""
32.SH NAME
33\fBmenu_userptr\fR - associate application data with a menu item
34.SH SYNOPSIS
35\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
36.br
37int set_menu_userptr(MENU *menu, void *userptr);
38.br
39void *menu_userptr(const MENU *menu);
40.br
41.SH DESCRIPTION
42Every menu and every menu item has a field that can be used to hold
43application-specific data (that is, the menu-driver code leaves it alone).
44These functions get and set the menu user pointer field.
45.SH RETURN VALUE
46Except for \fBmenu_userptr\fR (which returns \fBNULL\fR on error), each
47function returns one of the following:
48.TP 5
49\fBE_OK\fR
50The routine succeeded.
51.TP 5
52\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
53System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
54.SH SEE ALSO
55\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
56.SH NOTES
57The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
58\fB<curses.h>\fR.
59.SH PORTABILITY
60These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on
61Version 7 or BSD versions.
62
63The user pointer should be a void pointer. We leave it as a char pointer for
64SVr4 compatibility.
