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 menuopts(3X)].

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

RETURN VALUE
      setitemvalue 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.

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