NAME
menu_mark - get and set the menu mark stringSYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>DESCRIPTION
In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without highlighting or color capability, the menu library marks selected items in a menu with a prefix string.The function set_menu_mark sets the mark string for the given menu. Calling set_menu_mark with a null menu item will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu while the menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with a non- NULL menu argument will change this default.
The function menu_mark returns the menu's mark string (or NULL if there is none).

- E_OK
- The routine succeeded.
