mitem_name - get menu item name and description fields

#include <menu.h>
const char *item_name(const ITEM *item);
const char *item_description(const ITEM *item);

The function item_name returns the name part of the given item.
The function item_description returns the description part of the given item.

These routines return a pointer (which may be NULL). They do not set errno.

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

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