# mitem_opts 3x

## NAME

           mitem_opts - set and get menu item options

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <menu.h>
           int set_item_opts(ITEM *item, OPTIONS opts);
           int item_opts_on(ITEM *item, OPTIONS opts);
           int item_opts_off(ITEM *item, OPTIONS opts);
           OPTIONS item_opts(const ITEM *item);

## DESCRIPTION

           The  function  set_item_opts  sets  all  the  given item's
           option bits  (menu  option  bits  may  be  logically-OR'ed
           together).

           The  function item_opts_on turns on the given option bits,
           and leaves others alone.

           The function item_opts_off  turns  off  the  given  option
           bits, and leaves others alone.

           The  function  item_opts returns the item's current option
           bits.

           There is only one defined option bit  mask,  O_SELECTABLE.
           When this is on, the item may be selected during menu pro-
           cessing.  This option defaults to on.

## RETURN VALUE

           Except for item_opts, each routine returns one of the fol-
           lowing:

           E_OK The routine succeeded.

           E_SYSTEM_ERROR
                System error occurred (see errno).

## SEE ALSO

           curses(3x), menu(3x).

## 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.
