.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm bsddialog
library provides an API to build Text User Interface dialogs and widgets: to
display messages, to get input and to inform about a computation status.
.Pp
.Fn bsddialog_init
initializes the library, the only functions that can be called before is
.Fn bsddialog_initconf
described later.
After the initialization the input and output should be handled via the library
API.
.Fn bsddialog_end
restores the screen like before
.Fn bsddialog_init ,
then it is not possible to use the library functions.
.Pp
.Fn bsddialog_error
returns a string to describe the last error, it should be called after a
.Dv BSDDIALOG_ERROR
returned value.
.Fn bsddialog_clearterminal
clears the screen.
.Fn bsddialog_backtitle
prints
.Fa backtitle
on the top of the screen, it is possible to set
.Fa conf.ascii_lines
and
.Fa conf.no_lines ;
.Fa conf
is described later.
.Pp
Each
.Fa char*
argument has to be a well terminated string, can be empty
.Pq Dq
but not
.Dv NULL .
.Ss Dialogs
The dialogs have common arguments.
.Fa text
is a string printed inside the dialog.
.Fa rows
and
.Fa cols
are height and width, their value can be between 2 and the screen size,
.Dv BSDDIALOG_AUTOSIZE
or
.Dv BSDDIALOG_FULLSCREEN .
.Fa conf
is a struct to customize the dialog, it does not set global properties to the
library.
.Pp

until the next
.Fa separator ,
the loop ends reading
.Dv EOF .
.Pp
.Fn bsddialog_mixedgauge
draws a main bar with the
.Fa mainperc
percentage and

to print a descriptive string.
.Pp
.Fn bsddialog_rangebox
to select a value between
.Fa min
and

The current value is printed inside a bar, the keys UP, DOWN, HOME, END, PAGEUP
and PAGEDOWN can change it.
.Pp
.Fn bsddialog_textbox
opens and prints
.Fa file
in a dialog, the UP, DOWN, HOME, END, PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys are availble to
navigate the file.
OK button is renamed EXIT.
.Ss Theme
The graphical properties are global to the library, they are represented by
.Fa struct bsddialog_theme
and can be customized at runtime via the
.In bsddialog_theme.h
API.
