66       The  function <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> sets the current item (the item on which
67       the menu cursor is positioned).  <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer to  the
68       current item in the given menu.
69
70       The function <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> sets the top row of the menu to show the given
71       row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to  this  value  whenever
72       the  <STRONG>O_ROWMAJOR</STRONG> option is toggled).  The item leftmost on the given row
73       becomes current.  The function <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> returns the number  of  the  top
74       menu row being displayed.
75
76       The  function <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> returns the (zero-origin) index of <EM>item</EM> in the
77       menu's item pointer list.
78

81       <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).  It  does  not  set
82       <STRONG>errno</STRONG>.
83
84       <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (the general <STRONG>curses</STRONG> error value) if
85       their <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
86
87       <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> and <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> return one of the following:
88
89       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
90
91       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
92            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
93
94       <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
95            Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
96
97       <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
98            No items are connected to the menu.
99
100       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
101            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).

105       These routines emulate the  System  V  menu  library.   They  were  not
106       supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
107
108       The   SVr4   menu  library  documentation  specifies  the  <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>  and
109       <STRONG>index_item</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
