mitem_new(3) mitem_new(3)
NAME
mitem_new - create and destroy menu items
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
ITEM *new_item(const char *name, const char *description);
int free_item(ITEM *item);
DESCRIPTION
The function new_item allocates a new item and initializes
it from the name and description pointers. Please notice
that the item stores only the pointers to the name and
description. Those pointers must be valid during the life-
time of the item. So you should be very carefull with
names or descriptions allocated on the stack of some rou-
tines.
The function free_item de-allocates an item. Please notice
that it is the responsibility of the application to
release the memory for the name or the description of the
item.
RETURN VALUE
The function new_item returns NULL on error.
The function free_item returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
ment.
E_CONNECTED
Item is connected to a menu.
SEE ALSO
curses(3), menu(3).
NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header
file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They
were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
