NAMEset_menu_pattern, menu_pattern − set and get a menu's pattern buffer

SYNOPSIS#include <menu.h> int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern);
char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTIONEvery 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 menu_driver(3X). The function set_menu_pattern 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. The function menu_pattern returns the pattern buffer of the given menu.

RETURN VALUEThe function menu_pattern returns a pointer, which is NULL if the menu parameter is NULL. Otherwise, it is a pointer to a string which is empty if no pattern has been set. It does not set errno. The function set_menu_pattern may return the following error codes: E_OK  The routine succeeded. E_BAD_ARGUMENT  Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. E_BAD_STATE  Routine was called from an initialization or termination function. E_NOT_CONNECTED  No items are connected to menu. E_NO_MATCH  Character failed to match. 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.
