46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49library provides an interface for creating complex
50.Dq gauge
51widgets for displaying progress on various actions.
52The
53.Nm
54library can display progress with one of
55.Xr dialog 3 ,
56.Xr dialog 1 ,
57or
58.Xr Xdialog 1
59.Pq x11/xdialog from the ports tree .
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn dpv
63.Fa config
64argument properties for configuring global display features:

109.Pp
110The
111.Va options
112member of the
113.Fn dpv
114.Fa config
115argument is a mask of bit fields indicating various processing options.
116Possible flags are:
117.Bl -tag -width DPV_NO_OVERRUN
118.It Dv DPV_TEST_MODE
119Enable test mode.
120In test mode,
121the
122.Fn action
123callback of the
124.Fa config
125argument is not called but instead simulated-data is used to drive progress.
126Appends
127.Dq [TEST MODE]
128to the status line
129.Po
130to override,
131set the
132.Va status_format
133member of the
134.Fn dpv
135.Fa config
136argument;
137for example,
138to
139.Dv DPV_STATUS_DEFAULT
140.Pc .
141.It Dv DPV_WIDE_MODE
142Enable wide mode.
143In wide mode,
144the length of the
145.Va aprompt
146and
147.Va pprompt
148members of the
149.Fn dpv
150.Fa config
151argument will bump the width of the gauge widget.
152Prompts wider than the maximum width will wrap
153.Po
154unless using
155.Xr Xdialog 1 ;
156see BUGS section below
157.Pc .
158.It Dv DPV_NO_LABELS
159Disables the display of labels associated with each transfer
160.Po
161.Va label_size
162member of
163.Fn dpv
164.Fa config
165argument is ignored

168Force the use of color even if the
169.Va display_type
170does not support color
171.Po
172.Ev USE_COLOR
173environment variable is ignored
174.Pc .
175.It Dv DPV_NO_OVERRUN
176When enabled,
177callbacks for the current
178.Vt dpv_file_node
179are terminated when
180.Fn action
181returns 100 or greater
182.Po
183alleviates the need to change the
184.Va status
185of the current
186.Vt dpv_file_node
187but may also cause file truncation if the stream exceeds expected length
188.Pc .
189.El
190.Pp
191The
192.Fa file_list
193argument to
194.Fn dpv
195is a pointer to a
196.Dq linked-list ,
197described in
198.In dpv.h :
199.Bd -literal -offset indent
200struct dpv_file_node {
201    enum dpv_status    status; /* status of read operation */
202    char               *msg;   /* display instead of "Done/Fail" */
203    char               *name;  /* name of file to read */
204    char               *path;  /* path to file */
205    long long          length; /* expected size */
206    long long          read;   /* number units read (e.g., bytes) */
207    struct dpv_file_node *next;/* pointer to next (end with NULL) */
208};
209.Ed
210.Pp
211For each of the items in the
212.Fa file_list
213.Dq linked-list
214argument,
215the
216.Fn action
217callback member of the
218.Fn dpv
219.Fa config
220argument is called.
221The
222.Fn action
223function performs a
224.Dq nominal
225action on the file and return.
226The return value of
227.Vt int
228represents the current progress percentage
229.Pq 0-100
230for the current file.
231.Pp
232The
233.Fn action
234callback provides two variables for each call.
235.Fa file
236provides a reference to the current
237.Vt dpv_file_node
238being processed.
239.Fa out
240provides a file descriptor where the data goes.
241.Pp
242If the
243.Va output
244member of the
245.Fn dpv
246.Fa config
247argument was set to DPV_OUTPUT_NONE
248.Pq default ; when invoking Fn dpv ,
249the
250.Fa out
251file descriptor of
252.Fn action
253will be zero and can be ignored.
254If
255.Fa output
256was set to DPV_OUTPUT_FILE,
257.Fa out
258will be an open file descriptor to a file.
259If
260.Fa output
261was set to DPV_OUTPUT_SHELL,
262.Fa out
263will be an open file descriptor to a pipe for a spawned shell program.
264When
265.Fa out
266is greater than zero,
267write data that has been read back to
268.Fa out .
269.Pp
270To abort
271.Fn dpv ,
272either from the
273.Fn action
274callback or asynchronously from a signal handler,
275two globals are provided via
276.In dpv.h :
277.Bd -literal -offset indent
278extern int dpv_interrupt; /* Set to TRUE in interrupt handler */
279extern int dpv_abort;     /* Set to true in callback to abort */
280.Ed
281.Pp
282These globals are not automatically reset and must be manually maintained.
283Do not forget to reset these globals before subsequent invocations of
284.Fn dpv
285when making multiple calls from the same program.
286.Pp
287In addition,
288the
289.Va status
290member of the
291.Fn action
292.Fa file
293argument can be used to control callbacks for the current file.
294The
295.Va status
296member can be set to any of the below from
297.In dpv.h :
298.Bd -literal -offset indent
299enum dpv_status {
300	DPV_STATUS_RUNNING = 0, /* Running (default) */
301	DPV_STATUS_DONE,        /* Completed */
302	DPV_STATUS_FAILED,      /* Oops, something went wrong */
303};
304.Ed
305.Pp
306The default
307.Fa status
308is zero,
309DPV_STATUS_RUNNING,
310which keeps the callbacks coming for the current
311.Fn file .
312Setting
313.Ql file->status
314to anything other than DPV_STATUS_RUNNING will cause
315.Fn dpv
316to loop to the next file,
317effecting the next callback,
318if any.
319.Pp
320The
321.Fn action
322callback is responsible for calculating percentages and
323.Pq recommended
324maintaining a
325.Nm
326global counter so
327.Fn dpv
328can display throughput statistics.
329Percentages are reported through the
330.Vt int
331return value of the
332.Fn action
333callback.
334Throughput statistics are calculated from the below global
335.Vt int
336in
337.In dpv.h :
338.Bd -literal -offset indent
339extern int dpv_overall_read;
340.Ed
341.Pp
342Set this to the number of bytes that have been read for all files.
343Throughput information is displayed in the status line
344.Pq only available when using Xr dialog 3
345at the bottom of the screen.
346See DPV_DISPLAY_LIBDIALOG above.
347.Pp
348Note that
349.Va dpv_overall_read
350does not have to represent bytes.
351For example,
352the
353.Va status_format
354can be changed to display something other than
355.Dq Li bytes
356and increment
357.Va dpv_overall_read
358accordingly
359.Pq for example, counting lines .
360.Pp
361When
362.Fn dpv
363is processing the current file,
364the
365.Va length
366and
367.Va read
368members of the
369.Fn action
370.Fa file
371argument are used for calculating the display of mini progress bars
372.Po
373if enabled;
374see
375.Va pbar_size
376above
377.Pc .
378If the
379.Va length
380member of the current
381.Fa file
382is less than zero
383.Pq indicating an unknown file length ,
384a
385.Xr humanize_number 3
386version of the
387.Va read
388member is used instead of a traditional progress bar.
389Otherwise a progress bar is calculated as percentage read to file length.
390.Fn action
391callback must maintain these member values for mini-progress bars.
392.Pp
393The
394.Fn dpv_free
395function performs
396.Xr free 3
397on private global variables initialized by
398.Fn dpv .

490This is a known issue with the

492widget in
493.Xr Xdialog 1 .
494Embed escaped newlines within prompt text to force line breaks.
495.Pp
496.Xr dialog 1
497does not display the first character after a series of escaped escape-sequences
498(for example, ``\\\\n'' produces ``\\'' instead of ``\\n'').
499This is a known issue with
500.Xr dialog 1
501and does not affect
502.Xr dialog 3
503or
504.Xr Xdialog 1 .
505.Pp
506If an application ignores
507.Ev USE_COLOR
508when set and NULL before calling
509.Fn dpv
510with color escape sequences anyway,
511.Xr dialog 3
512and
513.Xr dialog 1
514may not render properly.
515Workaround is to detect when
516.Ev USE_COLOR
517is set and NULL and either not use color escape sequences at that time or use
518.Xr unsetenv 3
519to unset
520.Ev USE_COLOR ,
521forcing interpretation of color sequences.
522This does not effect
523.Xr Xdialog 1 ,
524which renders the color escape sequences as plain text.
525See
526.Do
527embedded "\\Z" sequences
