63       The function <STRONG>set_menu_items</STRONG> changes the item pointer array of the given
64       <EM>menu</EM>.  The array must be terminated by a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
65
66       The function <STRONG>menu_items</STRONG> returns the item array of the given menu.
67
68       The function <STRONG>item_count</STRONG> returns the count of items in <EM>menu</EM>.

72       The function <STRONG>menu_items</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).  It does
73       not set <STRONG>errno</STRONG>.
74
75       The function <STRONG>item_count</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (the general  <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  error  return
76       value) if its <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
77
78       The  function  <STRONG>set_menu_items</STRONG>  returns  one  of  the following codes on
79       error:
80
81       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
82
83       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
84            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
85
86       <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
87            No items are connected to the menu.
88
89       <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
90            The menu is already posted.
91
92       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
93            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).

97       These routines emulate the  System  V  menu  library.   They  were  not
98       supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
99
100       The  SVr4  menu  library  documentation  specifies the <STRONG>item_count</STRONG> error
101       value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
