menu_pattern(3X) menu_pattern(3X)
set_menu_pattern, menu_pattern - set and get a menu's pattern
buffer
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern);
char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu);
Every 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.
The 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)).
curses(3X), menu(3X).
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
