whiptail(1) is a lightweight replacement for dialog(1),
|
|
to provide dialog boxes for shell scripts. It is built on the
|
|
newt windowing library rather than the ncurses library, allowing
|
|
it to be smaller in embedded enviroments such as installers,
|
|
rescue disks, etc.
|
|
|
|
whiptail is designed to be drop-in compatible with dialog, but
|
|
has less features: some dialog boxes are not implemented, such
|
|
as tailbox, timebox, calendarbox, etc.
|
|
|
|
Please see the whiptail(1) man page for details.
