<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
<B>menu_pattern</B> - get and set a menu's pattern buffer
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<B>#include</B> <B><menu.h></B>
int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern);
char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu);
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
Every menu has an associated pattern match buffer. As
input events that are printable ASCII characters come in,
they are appended to this match buffer and tested for a
match, as described in <B><A HREF="menu_driver.3x.html">menu_driver(3x)</A></B>.
The function <B>set_menu_pattern</B> sets the pattern buffer for
the given menu and tries to find the first matching item.
If it succeeds, that item becomes current; if not, the
current item does not change.
The function <B>menu_pattern</B> returns the pattern buffer of
the given <I>menu</I>.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
The function <B>menu_pattern</B> returns <B>NULL</B> on error. The
function <B>set_menu_pattern</B> may return the following error
codes:
<B>E_OK</B> The routine succeeded.
<B>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</B>
System error occurred (see <B>errno</B>).
<B>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</B>
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
ment.
<B>E_NO_MATCH</B>
