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 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog .
59.Pp
60The
61.Fn dpv
62.Fa config
63argument properties for configuring global display features:

108.Pp
109The
110.Va options
111member of the
112.Fn dpv
113.Fa config
114argument is a mask of bit fields indicating various processing options.
115Possible flags are:
116.Bl -tag -width DPV_NO_OVERRUN
117.It Dv DPV_TEST_MODE
118Enable test mode.
119In test mode,
120the
121.Fn action
122callback of the
123.Fa config
124argument is not called but instead simulated-data is used to drive progress.
125Appends
126.Dq [TEST MODE]
127to the status line
128.Po
129to override,
130set the
131.Va status_format
132member of the
133.Fn dpv
134.Fa config
135argument;
136for example,
137to
138.Dv DPV_STATUS_DEFAULT
139.Pc .
140.It Dv DPV_WIDE_MODE
141Enable wide mode.
142In wide mode,
143the length of the
144.Va aprompt
145and
146.Va pprompt
147members of the
148.Fn dpv
149.Fa config
150argument will bump the width of the gauge widget.
151Prompts wider than the maximum width will wrap
152.Po
153unless using
154.Xr Xdialog 1 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog ;
155see BUGS section below
156.Pc .
157.It Dv DPV_NO_LABELS
158Disables the display of labels associated with each transfer
159.Po
160.Va label_size
161member of
162.Fn dpv
163.Fa config
164argument is ignored
165.Pc .
166.It Dv DPV_USE_COLOR
167Force the use of color even if the
168.Va display_type
169does not support color
170.Po
171.Ev USE_COLOR
172environment variable is ignored
173.Pc .
174.It Dv DPV_NO_OVERRUN
175When enabled,
176callbacks for the current
177.Vt dpv_file_node
178are terminated when
179.Fn action
180returns 100 or greater
181.Po
182alleviates the need to change the
183.Va status
184of the current
185.Vt dpv_file_node
186but may also cause file truncation if the stream exceeds expected length
187.Pc .
188.El
189.Pp
190The
191.Fa file_list
192argument to
193.Fn dpv
194is a pointer to a
195.Dq linked-list ,
196described in
197.In dpv.h :
198.Bd -literal -offset indent
199struct dpv_file_node {
200    enum dpv_status    status; /* status of read operation */
201    char               *msg;   /* display instead of "Done/Fail" */
202    char               *name;  /* name of file to read */
203    char               *path;  /* path to file */
204    long long          length; /* expected size */
205    long long          read;   /* number units read (e.g., bytes) */
206    struct dpv_file_node *next;/* pointer to next (end with NULL) */
207};
208.Ed
209.Pp
210For each of the items in the
211.Fa file_list
212.Dq linked-list
213argument,
214the
215.Fn action
216callback member of the
217.Fn dpv
218.Fa config
219argument is called.
220The
221.Fn action
222function performs a
223.Dq nominal
224action on the file and return.
225The return value of
226.Vt int
227represents the current progress percentage
228.Pq 0-100
229for the current file.
230.Pp
231The
232.Fn action
233callback provides two variables for each call.
234.Fa file
235provides a reference to the current
236.Vt dpv_file_node
237being processed.
238.Fa out
239provides a file descriptor where the data goes.
240.Pp
241If the
242.Va output
243member of the
244.Fn dpv
245.Fa config
246argument was set to DPV_OUTPUT_NONE
247.Pq default ; when invoking Fn dpv ,
248the
249.Fa out
250file descriptor of
251.Fn action
252will be zero and can be ignored.
253If
254.Fa output
255was set to DPV_OUTPUT_FILE,
256.Fa out
257will be an open file descriptor to a file.
258If
259.Fa output
260was set to DPV_OUTPUT_SHELL,
261.Fa out
262will be an open file descriptor to a pipe for a spawned shell program.
263When
264.Fa out
265is greater than zero,
266write data that has been read back to
267.Fa out .
268.Pp
269To abort
270.Fn dpv ,
271either from the
272.Fn action
273callback or asynchronously from a signal handler,
274two globals are provided via
275.In dpv.h :
276.Bd -literal -offset indent
277extern int dpv_interrupt; /* Set to TRUE in interrupt handler */
278extern int dpv_abort;     /* Set to true in callback to abort */
279.Ed
280.Pp
281These globals are not automatically reset and must be manually maintained.
282Do not forget to reset these globals before subsequent invocations of
283.Fn dpv
284when making multiple calls from the same program.
285.Pp
286In addition,
287the
288.Va status
289member of the
290.Fn action
291.Fa file
292argument can be used to control callbacks for the current file.
293The
294.Va status
295member can be set to any of the below from
296.In dpv.h :
297.Bd -literal -offset indent
298enum dpv_status {
299	DPV_STATUS_RUNNING = 0, /* Running (default) */
300	DPV_STATUS_DONE,        /* Completed */
301	DPV_STATUS_FAILED,      /* Oops, something went wrong */
302};
303.Ed
304.Pp
305The default
306.Fa status
307is zero,
308DPV_STATUS_RUNNING,
309which keeps the callbacks coming for the current
310.Fn file .
311Setting
312.Ql file->status
313to anything other than DPV_STATUS_RUNNING will cause
314.Fn dpv
315to loop to the next file,
316effecting the next callback,
317if any.
318.Pp
319The
320.Fn action
321callback is responsible for calculating percentages and
322.Pq recommended
323maintaining a
324.Nm
325global counter so
326.Fn dpv
327can display throughput statistics.
328Percentages are reported through the
329.Vt int
330return value of the
331.Fn action
332callback.
333Throughput statistics are calculated from the below global
334.Vt int
335in
336.In dpv.h :
337.Bd -literal -offset indent
338extern int dpv_overall_read;
339.Ed
340.Pp
341Set this to the number of bytes that have been read for all files.
342Throughput information is displayed in the status line
343.Pq only available when using Xr dialog 3
344at the bottom of the screen.
345See DPV_DISPLAY_LIBDIALOG above.
346.Pp
347Note that
348.Va dpv_overall_read
349does not have to represent bytes.
350For example,
351the
352.Va status_format
353can be changed to display something other than
354.Dq Li bytes
355and increment
356.Va dpv_overall_read
357accordingly
358.Pq for example, counting lines .
359.Pp
360When
361.Fn dpv
362is processing the current file,
363the
364.Va length
365and
366.Va read
367members of the
368.Fn action
369.Fa file
370argument are used for calculating the display of mini progress bars
371.Po
372if enabled;
373see
374.Va pbar_size
375above
376.Pc .
377If the
378.Va length
379member of the current
380.Fa file
381is less than zero
382.Pq indicating an unknown file length ,
383a
384.Xr humanize_number 3
385version of the
386.Va read
387member is used instead of a traditional progress bar.
388Otherwise a progress bar is calculated as percentage read to file length.
389.Fn action
390callback must maintain these member values for mini-progress bars.
391.Pp
392The
393.Fn dpv_free
394function performs
395.Xr free 3
396on private global variables initialized by
397.Fn dpv .

488.Xr Xdialog 1 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog

490This is a known issue with the

492widget in
493.Xr Xdialog 1 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog .
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 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog .
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 Pq Pa ports/x11/xdialog ,
524which renders the color escape sequences as plain text.
525See
526.Do
527embedded "\\Z" sequences
