<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>mitem_new</STRONG> - create and destroy menu items
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><menu.h></STRONG>
ITEM *new_item(const char *name, const char *description);
int free_item(ITEM *item);
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The function <STRONG>new_item</STRONG> allocates a new item and initializes
it from the <STRONG>name</STRONG> and <STRONG>description</STRONG> pointers. Please notice
that the item stores only the pointers to the name and
description. Those pointers must be valid during the life-
time of the item. So you should be very carefull with
names or descriptions allocated on the stack of some rou-
tines.
The function <STRONG>free_item</STRONG> de-allocates an item. Please notice
that it is the responsibility of the application to
release the memory for the name or the description of the
item.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
The function <STRONG>new_item</STRONG> returns <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.
The function <STRONG>free_item</STRONG> returns one of the following:
<STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
<STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
<STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
ment.
<STRONG>E_CONNECTED</STRONG>

</PRE>

These routines emulate the System V menu library. They
were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
