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_OK        The routine returned successfully.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR        System error.
E_REQUEST_DENIED        The menu driver could not process
        the request.
