DESCRIPTION
The function set_menu_items changes the item pointer array of the given menu. The array must be terminated by a NULL.
The function menu_items returns the item array of the given menu.
The function item_count returns the count of items in menu.
RETURN VALUES
The function menu_items returns a pointer (which may be NULL). It does not set errno.
The function item_count returns ERR (the general curses error return value) if its menu parameter is NULL.
The function set_menu_items returns one of the following codes on error:

NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
