+.SH NAME
+\fBset_menu_mark\fP,
+\fBmenu_mark\fP \- get and set the menu mark string
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB#include <menu.h>\fP
+.sp
+\fBint set_menu_mark(MENU *\fImenu\fB, const char *\fImark\fB);\fR
+.br
+\fBconst char *menu_mark(const MENU *\fImenu\fB);\fR
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without
+highlighting or color capability, the menu library marks selected items
+in a menu with a prefix string.
+.PP
+The function \fBset_menu_mark\fP sets the mark string for the given menu.
+Calling \fBset_menu_mark\fP with a null menu item will abolish the mark string.
+Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu while the
+menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
+.PP
+The default string is "\-" (a dash).
+Calling \fBset_menu_mark\fP with
+a non-\fBNULL\fP menu argument will change this default.
+.PP
+The function \fBmenu_mark\fP returns the menu's mark string (or \fBNULL\fP if
+there is none).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The function \fBmenu_mark\fP returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fP).
+It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
+.PP
+The function \fBset_menu_mark\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_SYSTEM_ERROR
+System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)).
+.SH SEE ALSO
+\fBcurses\fP(3X), \fBmenu\fP(3X).
+.SH NOTES
+The header file \fB<menu.h>\fP automatically includes the header file
+\fB<curses.h>\fP.
+.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.
