       #include <menu.h>

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).
