NAMEnew_item, free_item − create and destroy menu items

SYNOPSIS#include <menu.h> ITEM *new_item(const char *name, const char *description);
int free_item(ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTIONThe function new_item allocates a new item and initializes it from the name and description pointers. Please notice that the item stores only the pointers to the name and description. Those pointers must be valid during the lifetime of the item. So you should be very careful with names or descriptions allocated on the stack of some routines.
The function
free_item de-allocates an item. Please notice that it is the responsibility of the application to release the memory for the name or the description of the item.

RETURN VALUEThe function new_item returns NULL on error. It sets errno according to the function's failure: E_BAD_ARGUMENT  Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. E_SYSTEM_ERROR  System error occurred, e.g., malloc failure. The function free_item returns one of the following: E_OK  The routine succeeded. E_BAD_ARGUMENT  Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. E_CONNECTED  Item is connected to a menu. E_SYSTEM_ERROR  System error occurred (see errno(3)).

SEE ALSOcurses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTESThe header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITYThese routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
