    mitem_visible(3x)                                            mitem_visible(3x)

## NAME

           mitem_visible - check visibility of a menu item

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <menu.h>

           bool item_visible(const ITEM *item);

## DESCRIPTION

           A  menu item is visible when it is in the portion of a posted menu that
           is mapped onto the screen (if the menu is  scrollable,  in  particular,
           this portion will be smaller than the whole menu).

## SEE ALSO

           curses(3x), menu(3x).

## NOTES

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

## PORTABILITY

           These routines emulate the  System  V  menu  library.   They  were  not
           supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
