+.TH menu_pattern 3X 2023-11-25 "ncurses 6.4" "Library calls"
+.SH NAME
+\fBset_menu_pattern\fP,
+\fBmenu_pattern\fP \-
+set and get a menu's pattern buffer
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <menu.h>
+.PP
+\fBint set_menu_pattern(MENU *\fImenu\fP, const char *\fIpattern\fP);
+\fBchar *menu_pattern(const MENU *\fImenu\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Every menu has an associated pattern match buffer.
+As input events that are
+printable characters come in, they are appended to this match buffer
+and tested for a match, as described in \fBmenu_driver\fP(3X).
+.PP
+The function \fBset_menu_pattern\fP sets the pattern buffer for the given menu
+and tries to find the first matching item.
+If it succeeds, that item becomes
+current; if not, the current item does not change.
+.PP
+The function \fBmenu_pattern\fP returns the pattern buffer of the given
+\fImenu\fP.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The function \fBmenu_pattern\fP returns a pointer,
+which is \fBNULL\fP if the \fImenu\fP parameter is \fBNULL\fP.
+Otherwise, it is a pointer to a string which is empty
+if no pattern has been set.
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
+.PP
+The function \fBset_menu_pattern\fP may return the following error codes:
+.TP 5
+.B E_OK
+The routine succeeded.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
+Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
+.TP 5
+.B E_BAD_STATE
+Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
+.TP 5
+.B E_NOT_CONNECTED
+No items are connected to menu.
+.TP 5
+.B E_NO_MATCH
+Character failed to match.
+.TP 5
+.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)).
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These routines emulate the System V menu library.
+They were not supported on
+Version 7 or BSD versions.
+.SH AUTHORS
+Juergen Pfeifer.
+Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
