DESCRIPTION
Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued menus enable the end-user to
select one or more items from a menu. set_item_value() sets the
selected value of the item — TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected).
set_item_value() may be used only with multi-valued menus. To make a
menu multi-valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off() to turn off the
option O_ONEVALUE. (See menu_opts(3CURSES)).
item_value() returns the select value of item, either TRUE (selected)
or FALSE (unselected).
RETURN VALUESset_item_value() returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine returned successfully.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error.
E_REQUEST_DENIED The menu driver could not process the request.
