Wed Aug 31 17:37:22 CEST 2011


This will be used first by the pxe code, but is intended to be
generic and reusable for other jobs in U-boot.

+
+U-boot provides a set of interfaces for creating and using simple, text
+based menus. Menus are displayed as lists of labeled entries on the
+console, and an entry can be selected by entering its label.
+
+To use the menu code, enable CONFIG_MENU, and include "menu.h" where
+the interfaces should be available.
+
+Menus are composed of items. Each item has a key used to identify it in
+the menu, and an opaque pointer to data controlled by the consumer.
+
+Interfaces
+----------
+#include "menu.h"
+
+/*
+ * Consumers of the menu interfaces will use a struct menu * as the
+ * handle for a menu. struct menu is only fully defined in menu.c,
+ * preventing consumers of the menu interfaces from accessing its
+ * contents directly.
+ */

+ * NOTE: See comments in common/menu.c for more detailed documentation on
+ * these interfaces.

+ */

+Example Code
+------------

+to pick from a list of tools.  The item key and data are the same.

+	m = menu_create("Tools", 1, NULL);

+			printf("failed to add item!");

+	}
+
+	if (menu_get_choice(m, (void **)&tool) != 1)
+		printf("Problem picking tool!\n");
