.SH NAME
|
|
\fBmenu_pattern\fR - get and set a menu's pattern buffer
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern);
|
|
.br
|
|
char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu);
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Every menu has an associated pattern match buffer. As input events that are
|
|
printable ASCII characters come in, they are appended to this match buffer
|
|
and tested for a match, as described in \fBmenu_driver\fR(3X).
|
|
|
|
The function \fBset_menu_pattern\fR sets the pattern buffer for the given menu
|
|
and tries to find the first matching item. If it succeeds, that item becomes
|
|
current; if not, the current item does not change.
|
|
|
|
The function \fBmenu_pattern\fR returns the pattern buffer of the given
|
|
\fImenu\fR.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
The function \fBmenu_pattern\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error. The function
|
|
\fBset_menu_pattern\fR may return the following error codes:
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fBE_OK\fR
|
|
The routine succeeded.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR
|
