Calling set_menu_mark with a null menu item will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu while the menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior. The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with a NULL menu argument will change this default. The function menu_mark returns the menu's mark string (or NULL if there is none). RETURN VALUEThe function menu_mark returns NULL on error. The function set_menu_mark may return the following error codes:
