.TH userptr 3MENU ""
.SH NAME
\fBset_menu_userptr\fP,
\fBmenu_userptr\fP \- associate application data with a menu item
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <menu.h>\fP
.sp
\fBint set_menu_userptr(MENU *\fImenu\fB, void *\fIuserptr\fB);\fR
.br
\fBvoid *menu_userptr(const MENU *\fImenu\fB);\fR
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
Every menu and every menu item has a field that can be used to hold
application-specific data (that is, the menu-driver code leaves it alone).
These functions get and set the menu user pointer field.
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBmenu_userptr\fP returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fP).
It does not set \fBerrno\fP.
.PP
\fBset_menu_userptr\fP returns \fBE_OK\fP (success).
.SH SEE ALSO
\fBncurses\fP(3NCURSES), \fBmenu\fP(3MENU).
.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.
.PP
The user pointer is a void pointer.
We chose not to leave it as a char pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
