.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be called at various
points in the automatic processing of input event codes by \fBmenu_driver\fP.
.PP
The function \fBset_item_init\fP sets a hook to be called at menu-post time and
each time the selected item changes (after the change).
\fBitem_init\fP
returns the current item init hook, if any
.RI ( NULL
if there is no such hook).
.PP
The function \fBset_item_term\fP sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time
and each time the selected item changes (before the change).
\fBitem_term\fP
returns the current item term hook, if any
.RI ( NULL
if there is no such hook).
.PP
The function \fBset_menu_init\fP sets a hook to be called at menu-post time and
just after the top row on the menu changes once it is posted.
\fBmenu_init\fP
returns the current menu init hook, if any
.RI ( NULL
if there is no such hook).
.PP
The function \fBset_menu_term\fP sets a hook to be called at menu-unpost time
and just before the top row on the menu changes once it is posted.
\fBmenu_term\fP returns the current menu term hook, if any
.RI ( NULL
if there is no such hook).
