Xdialog documentation - General syntax and usage


 

Usage:

Xdialog [<common options>] [<transient options>] <box option> ...

and:

Xdialog <special option>

The [<common options>] [<transient options>] <box option> sequence may be repeated several times in the same Xdialog command line (this is called dialog chaining). The common/transient options may be omited but there must always be a <box option> as the last Xdialog option.

Compatibility note:

Xdialog ignores any unknown transient/common option (and any associated parameters) passed into its command line. This allows to use Xdialog in place of (c)dialog in an existing script without removing the options that are irrelevant to Xdialog (such as --clear, --no-kill, etc...).
