</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       The  function <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> sets the current item (the item on which
       the menu cursor is positioned).  <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer to  the
       current item in the given menu.

       The function <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> sets the top row of the menu to show the given
       row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to  this  value  whenever
       the  <STRONG>O_ROWMAJOR</STRONG> option is toggled).  The item leftmost on the given row
       becomes current.  The function <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> returns the number  of  the  top
       menu row being displayed.

       The  function <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> returns the (zero-origin) index of <EM>item</EM> in the
       menu's item pointer list.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).  It  does  not  set
       <STRONG>errno</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (the general <STRONG>curses</STRONG> error value) if
       their <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> and <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> return one of the following:

       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.

       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

       <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
            Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.

       <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
            No items are connected to the menu.

       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).

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

       The  SVr4  menu  library  documentation  specifies  the   <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>   and
       <STRONG>index_item</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
