Please notice that the item stores +only the pointers to the name and description. Those pointers must be valid +during the lifetime of the item. So you should be very carefull with names +or descriptions allocated on the stack of some routines. +.br +The function \fBfree_item\fR de-allocates an item. Please notice that it +is the responsibility of the application to release the memory for the +name or the description of the item. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The function \fBnew_item\fR returns \fBNULL\fR on error. + +The function \fBfree_item\fR returns one of the following: +.TP 5 +\fBE_OK\fR +The routine succeeded. +.TP 5 +\fBE_SYSTEM_ERROR\fR +System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR). +.TP 5 +\fBE_BAD_ARGUMENT\fR +Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. +.TP 5 +\fBE_CONNECTED\fR +Item is connected to a menu. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X). +.SH NOTES +The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file +\fB<curses.h>\fR. +.SH PORTABILITY +These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on +Version 7 or BSD versions. +.SH AUTHORS +Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric +S.
