For scripts using dialog(1) several times, it can be visually distracting running dpv(1) several times amidst other dialogs. The `-k' option, similar to dialog(1) `--keep-tite', enables the same functionality to smooth ti/te.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides a dialog progress view, allowing a user to see current throughput rate
|
|
and total data transferred for one or more streams.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility has two main modes for processing input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default input mode, without
|
|
.Ql Fl m ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads bytes from standard input.
|
|
A label for the data must be provided.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The secondary input mode, with
|
|
.Ql Fl m ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads multiple paths
|
|
.Pq up to 2047 or Dq ARG_MAX/2-1 ,
|
|
sequentially.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Data read in either mode is either thrown away
|
|
.Pq default ,
|
|
sent to a spawned instance of the program specified via
|
|
.Ql Fl x Ar cmd ,
|
|
or sent to a unique file specified by
|
|
.Ql Fl o Ar file .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With or without
|
|
.Ql Fl m ,
|
|
progress is displayed using one of
|
|
.Xr dialog 3
|
|
.Pq default ,
|
|
.Xr dialog 1
|
|
.Pq see Ql Fl D ,
|
|
or instead
|
|
.Xr Xdialog 1
|
|
.Pq see Ql Fl X .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl b Ar backtitle"

|
|
.Ar text
|
|
below the file progress indicator(s).
|
|
.It Fl b Ar backtitle
|
|
Display
|
|
.Ar backtitle
|
|
on the backdrop, at top-left, behind the dialog widget.
|
|
When using

|
|
this is displayed inside the window
|
|
.Pq at the top
|
|
followed by a separator line.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Debug mode.
|
|
Print dialog prompt data to standard out and provide additional debugging on
|
|
standard error.
|
|

|
|
.Xr dialog 3 ,
|
|
but instead spawn an instance of
|
|
.Xr dialog 1 .
|
|
The path to
|
|
.Xr dialog 1
|
|
is taken from the
|
|
.Ev DIALOG
|
|
environment variable or simply
|
|
.Dq Li dialog
|
|
if unset or NULL.
|
|
.It Fl h

|
|
Ignored when using either
|
|
.Ql Fl D
|
|
or

|
which lack the ability to display the status line
|
|
.Pq containing bytes/rate/thread information .
|
|
Default value
|
|

|
the
|
|
.Ar backtitle

.Xr Xdialog 1 ,
|
|
when given both
|
|
.Ql Fl -title Ar title
|
|
.Pq see above Ql Fl t Ar title
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql Fl -backtitle Ar backtitle
|
|
.Pq see above Ql Fl b Ar backtitle ,
|
|
displays the backtitle in place of the title and vice-versa.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr Xdialog 1
|
|
does not wrap long prompt texts received after initial launch.
|
|
This is a known issue with the
|
|
.Ql --gauge
|
|
widget in
|
|
.Xr Xdialog 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr dialog 1
|
|
does not display the first character after a series of escaped escape-sequences
|
|
(e.g., ``\\\\n'' produces ``\\'' instead of ``\\n'').
|
|
This is a known issue with
|
|
.Xr dialog 1
|
|
and does not affect
|
|
.Xr dialog 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr Xdialog 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If your application ignores
|
|
.Ev USE_COLOR
|
|
when set and NULL before calling
|
|
.Xr dpv 1
|
|
with color escape sequences anyway,
|
|
.Xr dialog 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr dialog 1
|
|
may not render properly.
|
|
Workaround is to detect when
|
|
.Ev USE_COLOR
|
|
is set and NULL and either not use color escape sequences at that time or use
|
|
.Xr unset 1
|
|
.Xr [ sh 1 ]
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr unsetenv 1
|
|
.Xr [ csh 1 ]
|
|
to unset
|
|
.Ev USE_COLOR ,
|
|
forcing interpretation of color sequences.
|
|
This does not effect
|
|
.Xr Xdialog 1 ,
|
|
which renders the color escape sequences as plain text.
|
|
See
|
|
.Do
|
|
embedded "\\Z" sequences

|
.Dc
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr dialog 1

for additional information.
