   NAME
         menuitemvalue:  setitemvalue, itemvalue - set and get menus item
         values

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <menu.h>

         int setitemvalue(ITEM *item, int bool);
         int itemvalue(ITEM *item);

   DESCRIPTION
         Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued menus enable the end-user to
         select one or more items from a menu.  setitemvalue sets the
         selected value of the item - TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected).
         setitemvalue may be used only with multi-valued menus.  To make a
         menu multi-valued, use setmenuopts or menuoptsoff to turn off the
         option OONEVALUE.  [see menu_opts(3X)].

         itemvalue returns the select value of item, either TRUE (selected)
         or FALSE (unselected).

   RETURN VALUE
         setitemvalue returns one of the following:
         EOK             - The routine returned successfully.
         ESYSTEMERROR   - System error.
         EREQUESTDENIED - The menu driver could not process
                            the request.

   NOTES
         The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header files
         <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
