NAME
       menu_hook - set hooks for automatic invocation by applications

SYNOPSIS
       #include <menu.h>
       int set_item_init(MENU *menu, void (*func)(MENU *));
       void (*)(MENU *) item_init(const MENU *menu);
       int set_item_term(MENU *menu, void (*func)(MENU *));
       void (*)(MENU *) item_term(const MENU *menu);
       int set_menu_init(MENU *menu, void (*func)(MENU *));
       void (*)(MENU *) menu_init(const MENU *menu);
       int set_menu_term(MENU *menu, void (*func)(MENU *));
       void (*)(MENU *) menu_term(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  make  it possible to set hook functions to be called at various points in the auto-matic automatic
       matic processing of input event codes by menu_driver.

       The function set_item_init sets a hook to be called at menu-post time and each time the selected item
       changes  (after  the change).  item_init returns the current item init hook, if any (NULL if there is
       no such hook).

       The function set_item_term sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time and each  time  the  selected
       item  changes  (before  the  change).   item_term returns the current item term hook, if any (NULL if
       there is no such hook).

       The function set_menu_init sets a hook to be called at menu-post time and just after the top  row  on
       the  menu  changes  once it is posted.  menu_init returns the current menu init hook, if any (NULL if
       there is no such hook).

       The function set_menu_term sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time and just before the  top  row
       on the menu changes once it is posted.  menu_term returns the current menu term hook, if any (NULL if
       there is no such hook).
