# mitem_visible 3x

## NAME

           mitem_visible - check visibility of a menu item

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <menu.h>
           bool item_visible(const ITEM *item);

## DESCRIPTION

           A  menu  item  is  visible  when it is in the portion of a
           posted menu that is mapped onto the screen (if the menu is
           scrollable,  in  particular,  this portion will be smaller
           than the whole menu).

## 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.
