 # DESCRIPTION
 
-A notcurses instance supports menu bars on the top or bottom row of the true
-screen. A menu is composed of sections, which are in turn composed of items.
-Either no sections are visible, and the menu is *rolled up*, or exactly one
-section is *unrolled*. **ncmenu_rollup** places an ncmenu in the rolled up
-state. **ncmenu_unroll** rolls up any unrolled section, and unrolls the
-specified one. **ncmenu_destroy** removes a menu bar, and frees all associated
-resources.
