MENU_NEW(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		   MENU_NEW(3)

NAME
     free_menu, new_menu — create or delete a menu

LIBRARY
     Curses Menu Library (libmenu, -lmenu)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <menu.h>

     int
     free_menu(MENU *menu);

     MENU *
     new_menu(ITEMS **items);

DESCRIPTION
     The free_menu() menu function destroys the given menu and frees all allo‐
     cated storage associated with the menu.  All items associated with the
     menu are detached from the menu before it is destroyed.  The new_menu()
     function allocates storage for a new menu and initializes all the values
     to the defined defaults.  If the items pointer passed is not a NULL then
     the given NULL terminated array of items is attached to the new menu.

RETURN VALUES
     The new_menu() function returns NULL on error, while the free_menu()
     function returns one of the following error values:

     E_OK	     The function was successful.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT  One or more of the arguments passed to the function was
		     incorrect.
     E_POSTED	     The menu is already posted.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3), menus(3)

NOTES
     The header <menu.h> automatically includes both <curses.h> and <eti.h>.
