set_menu_mark, menu_mark - get and set the menu mark string
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_mark(MENU *menu, const char *mark);
const char *menu_mark(const MENU *menu);
In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without
highlighting or color capability, the menu library marks selected
items in a menu with a prefix string.
The function set_menu_mark sets the mark string for the given menu.
Calling set_menu_mark with a null menu item will abolish the mark
string. Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu
while the menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with a non-
NULL menu argument will change this default.
The function menu_mark returns the menu's mark string (or NULL if
there is none).
The function menu_mark returns a pointer (which may be NULL). It
does not set errno.
The function set_menu_mark may return the following error codes:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
curses(3X), menu(3X).
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
