built-in commands
SYNOPSIS
See the built-in command description in the appropriate shell manual
page.
DESCRIPTION
Shell builtin commands are commands that can be executed within the
running shell's process. Note that, in the case of csh(1) builtin
commands, the command is executed in a subshell if it occurs as any
component of a pipeline except the last.
If a command specified to the shell contains a slash `/', the shell will
not execute a builtin command, even if the last component of the
specified command matches the name of a builtin command. Thus, while
specifying "echo" causes a builtin command to be executed under shells
that support the echo builtin command, specifying "/bin/echo" or "./echo"
does not.
While some builtin commands may exist in more than one shell, their
operation may be different under each shell which supports them. Below
is a table which lists shell builtin commands, the standard shells that
support them and whether they exist as standalone utilities.
Only builtin commands for the csh(1) and sh(1) shells are listed here.
Consult a shell's manual page for details on the operation its builtin
commands. Beware that the sh(1) manual page, at least, calls some of
these commands "built-in commands" and some of them "reserved words".
Users of other shells may need to consult an info(1) page or other
sources of documentation.
Commands marked "No**" under External do exist externally, but are
implemented as scripts using a builtin command of the same name.

mitem_value(3X) mitem_value(3X)
NAME
set_item_value, item_value - set and get menu item values
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int set_item_value(ITEM *item, bool value);
bool item_value(const ITEM *item);
DESCRIPTION
If you turn off the menu option O_ONEVALUE (e.g., with set_menu_opts or
menu_opts_off; see menu_opts(3X)), the menu becomes multi-valued; that
is, more than one item may simultaneously be selected.
In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the given
menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect it (second argument
FALSE).
RETURN VALUE
The function set_item_value returns one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
E_REQUEST_DENIED
The menu driver could not process the request.
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.
