DESCRIPTION

Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued menus enable the end-user to select one or more items from a menu.  set_item_value() sets the selected value of the item — TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected).  set_item_value() may be used only with multi-valued menus.  To make a menu multi-valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off() to turn off the option O_ONEVALUE.  (See menu_opts(3X)). 

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

RETURN VALUES

set_item_value() returns one of the following:

E_OKThe routine returned successfully.
E_SYSTEM_ERRORSystem error.
E_REQUEST_DENIEDThe menu driver could not process
the request.
