menu_opts - set and get menu options |
#include <menu.h> |
The function set_menu_opts sets all the given menu’s option bits (menu option bits may be logically-OR’ed together). The function menu_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone. The function menu_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone. The function menu_opts returns the menu’s current option bits. The following options are defined (all are on by default): |
O_ONEVALUE |
Only one item can be selected for this menu. |
O_SHOWDESC |
Display the item descriptions when the menu is posted. |
O_ROWMAJOR |
Display the menu in row-major order. |
O_IGNORECASE |
Ignore the case when pattern-matching. |
O_SHOWMATCH |
Move the cursor to within the item name while pattern-matching. |
O_NONCYCLIC |
Don’t wrap around next-item and previous-item, requests to the other end of the menu. |
Except for menu_opts, each routine returns one of the following: |
E_OK |
The routine succeeded. |
E_SYSTEM_ERROR |
System error occurred (see errno). |
E_POSTED |
The menu is already posted. |
curses(3X), menu(3X). |
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>. |
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. |
