menu_hook(3X)                                              menu_hook(3X)

NAME         top

       menu_hook - set hooks for automatic invocation by applications

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <menu.h>

       int set_item_init(MENU *menu, Menu_Hook func);
       Menu_Hook item_init(const MENU *menu);

       int set_item_term(MENU *menu, Menu_Hook func);
       Menu_Hook item_term(const MENU *menu);

       int set_menu_init(MENU *menu, Menu_Hook func);
       Menu_Hook menu_init(const MENU *menu);

       int set_menu_term(MENU *menu, Menu_Hook func);
       Menu_Hook menu_term(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be
       called at various points in the automatic processing of input
       event codes by menu_driver.

       The function set_item_init sets a hook to be called at menu-post
       time and each time the selected item changes (after the change).
       item_init returns the current item init hook, if any (NULL if
       there is no such hook).

       The function set_item_term sets a hook to be called at menu-
       unpost time and each time the selected item changes (before the
       change).  item_term returns the current item term hook, if any
       (NULL if there is no such hook).

       The function set_menu_init sets a hook to be called at menu-post
       time and just after the top row on the menu changes once it is
       posted.  menu_init returns the current menu init hook, if any
       (NULL if there is no such hook).

       The function set_menu_term sets a hook to be called at menu-
       unpost time and just before the top row on the menu changes once
       it is posted.  menu_term returns the current menu term hook, if
       any (NULL if there is no such hook).

RETURN VALUE         top

       Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.  Other
       routines return one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred (see errno(3)).

SEE ALSO         top

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES         top

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

PORTABILITY         top

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