NAME
colloquy - Command line dialogs and widgets
SYNOPSIS
colloquy [-h|--help]
DESCRIPTION
colloquy uses notcurses to construct attractive widgets from the command line and shell scripts. It can be used with any terminal environment, and supports both keyboards and mice. Available widget types include:
- Message boxes requiring a button press to continue
- Selection of a single item from a list
- Selection of zero or more items from a list
Data to be displayed is provided on the command line, and the user's input is reported on standard output. If the user aborts, the program returns non-zero.
colloquy is inspired by (and compatible with a subset of) dialog(1), a similar tool built atop NCURSES.
OPTIONS
-h|--help: Display a usage message
NOTES
Optimal display requires a terminal advertising the rgb terminfo(5) capability, or that the environment variable COLORTERM is defined to 24bit (and that the terminal honors this variable), along with a fixed-width font with good coverage of the Unicode Block Drawing Characters.
