menu_requestname(3x) Library calls menu_requestname(3x)
menu_request_by_name, menu_request_name - handle printable menu request names
#include <menu.h> const char *menu_request_name(int request); int menu_request_by_name(const char *name);
The function menu_request_name returns the printable name of a menu request code. The function menu_request_by_name searches in the name-table for a request with the given name and returns its request code. Otherwise E_NO_MATCH is returned.
menu_request_name returns NULL on error and sets errno to E_BAD_ARGUMENT. menu_request_by_name returns E_NO_MATCH on error. It does not set errno.
These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
