    mitem_opts(3x)                   Library calls                  mitem_opts(3x)

## NAME

           set_item_opts,  item_opts_on,  item_opts_off,  item_opts  - set and get
           menu item options

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <menu.h>

           int set_item_opts(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);
           Item_Options item_opts(const ITEM *item);

           int item_opts_on(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);
           int item_opts_off(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);

## 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  processing.   This  option
           defaults to on.

## RETURN VALUE

           Except for item_opts, each routine returns one of the following:

           E_OK The routine succeeded.

           E_SYSTEM_ERROR
                System error occurred (see errno(3)).

## PORTABILITY

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