The .Nm library can display progress with one of .Xr dialog 3 , .Xr dialog 1 , or .Xr Xdialog 1 .Pq x11/xdialog from the ports tree . .Pp The .Fn dpv .Fa config argument contains the following properties for configuring global display features: .Bd -literal -offset indent struct dpv_config { uint8_t keep_tite; /* Cleaner exit for scripts */ enum dpv_display display_type; /* Def. DPV_DISPLAY_LIBDIALOG */ enum dpv_output output_type; /* Default DPV_OUTPUT_NONE */ int debug; /* Enable debug on stderr */ int display_limit; /* Files/page. Default -1 */ int label_size; /* Label size. Default 28 */ int pbar_size; /* Mini-progress size */ int dialog_updates_per_second; /* Default 16 */ int status_updates_per_second; /* Default 2 */ uint16_t options; /* Default 0 (none) */ char *title; /* Widget title */ char *backtitle; /* Widget backtitle */ char *aprompt; /* Append. Default NULL */ char *pprompt; /* Prefix. Default NULL */ char *msg_done; /* Default `Done' */ char *msg_fail; /* Default `Fail' */ char *msg_pending; /* Default `Pending' */ char *output; /* Output format string */ const char *status_solo; /* dialog(3) solo-status format. * Default DPV_STATUS_SOLO */ const char *status_many; /* dialog(3) many-status format. * Default DPV_STATUS_MANY */ /* * Function pointer; action to perform data transfer */ int (*action)(struct dpv_file_node *file, int out); }; enum dpv_display { DPV_DISPLAY_LIBDIALOG = 0, /* Use dialog(3) (default) */ DPV_DISPLAY_STDOUT, /* Use stdout */ DPV_DISPLAY_DIALOG, /* Use spawned dialog(1) */ DPV_DISPLAY_XDIALOG, /* Use spawned Xdialog(1) */ }; enum dpv_output { DPV_OUTPUT_NONE = 0, /* No output (default) */ DPV_OUTPUT_FILE, /* Read `output' member as file path */ DPV_OUTPUT_SHELL, /* Read `output' member as shell cmd */ }; .Ed .Pp The .Va options member of the .Fn dpv .Fa config argument is a mask of bit fields indicating various processing options. Possible flags are as follows: .Bl -tag -width DPV_NO_OVERRUN .It Dv DPV_TEST_MODE Enable test mode. In test mode, the .Fn action callback of the .Fa config argument is not called but instead simulated-data is used to drive progress. Appends .Dq [TEST MODE] to the status line .Po to override, set the .Va status_format member of the .Fn dpv .Fa config argument; e.g., to .Dv DPV_STATUS_DEFAULT .Pc . .It Dv DPV_WIDE_MODE Enable wide mode. In wide mode, the length of the .Va aprompt and .Va pprompt members of the .Fn dpv .Fa config argument will bump the width of the gauge widget. Prompts wider than the maximum width will wrap .Po unless using .Xr Xdialog 1 ; see BUGS section below .Pc . .It Dv DPV_NO_LABELS Disables the display of labels associated with each transfer .Po .Va label_size member of .Fn dpv .Fa config argument is ignored .Pc . .It Dv DPV_USE_COLOR Force the use of color even if the .Va display_type does not support color .Po .Ev USE_COLOR environment variable is ignored .Pc . .It Dv DPV_NO_OVERRUN When enabled, callbacks for the current .Vt dpv_file_node are terminated when .Fn action returns 100 or greater .Po alleviates the need to change the .Va status of the current .Vt dpv_file_node but may also cause file truncation if the stream exceeds expected length .Pc . .El .Pp The .Fa file_list argument to .Fn dpv is a pointer to a .Dq linked-list , described as follows in .In dpv.h : .Bd -literal -offset indent struct dpv_file_node { enum dpv_status status; /* status of read operation */ char *msg; /* display instead of "Done/Fail" */ char *name; /* name of file to read */ char *path; /* path to file */ long long length; /* expected size */ long long read; /* number units read (e.g., bytes) */ struct dpv_file_node *next;/* pointer to next (end with NULL) */ }; .Ed .Pp For each of the items in the .Fa file_list .Dq linked-list argument, the .Fn action callback member of the .Fn dpv .Fa config argument is called. The .Fn action function should perform a .Dq nominal action on the file and return. The return value of .Vt int represents the current progress percentage .Pq 0-100 for the current file. .Pp The .Fn action callback provides two variables for each call. .Fa file provides a reference to the current .Vt dpv_file_node being processed. .Fa out provides a file descriptor where the data should go. .Pp If the .Va output member of the .Fn dpv .Fa config argument was set to DPV_OUTPUT_NONE .Pq default ; when invoking Fn dpv , the .Fa out file descriptor of .Fn action will be zero and should be ignored. If .Fa output was set to DPV_OUTPUT_FILE, .Fa out will be an open file descriptor to a file. If .Fa output was set to DPV_OUTPUT_SHELL, .Fa out will be an open file descriptor to a pipe for a spawned shell program. When .Fa out is greater than zero, you should write any data you have read back to .Fa out . .Pp To abort .Fn dpv , either from the .Fn action callback or asynchronously from a signal handler, two globals are provided via .In dpv.h : .Bd -literal -offset indent extern int dpv_interrupt; /* Set to TRUE in interrupt handler */ extern int dpv_abort; /* Set to true in callback to abort */ .Ed .Pp These globals are not automatically reset and must be manually maintained. Don't forget to reset these globals before subsequent invocations of .Fn dpv when making multiple calls from the same program. .Pp In addition, the .Va status member of the .Fn action .Fa file argument can be used to control callbacks for the current file. The .Va status member can be set to any of the following from .In dpv.h : .Bd -literal -offset indent enum dpv_status { DPV_STATUS_RUNNING = 0, /* Running (default) */ DPV_STATUS_DONE, /* Completed */ DPV_STATUS_FAILED, /* Oops, something went wrong */ }; .Ed .Pp The default .Fa status is zero, DPV_STATUS_RUNING, which keeps the callbacks coming for the current .Fn file . Setting .Ql file->status to anything other than DPV_STATUS_RUNNING will cause .Fn dpv to loop to the next file, effecting the next callback, if any. .Pp The .Fn action callback is responsible for calculating percentages and .Pq recommended maintaining a .Nm global counter so .Fn dpv can display throughput statistics. Percentages are reported through the .Vt int return value of the .Fn action callback. Throughput statistics are calculated from the following global .Vt int in .In dpv.h : .Bd -literal -offset indent extern int dpv_overall_read; .Ed .Pp This should be set to the number of bytes that have been read for all files. Throughput information is displayed in the status line .Pq only available when using Xr dialog 3 at the bottom of the screen. See DPV_DISPLAY_LIBDIALOG above. .Pp Note that .Va dpv_overall_read does not have to represent bytes. For example, you can change the .Va status_format to display something other than .Dq Li bytes and increment .Va dpv_overall_read accordingly .Pq e.g., counting lines . .Pp When .Fn dpv is processing the current file, the .Va length and .Va read members of the .Fn action .Fa file argument are used for calculating the display of mini progress bars .Po if enabled; see .Va pbar_size above .Pc . If the .Va length member of the current .Fa file is less than zero .Pq indicating an unknown file length , a .Xr humanize_number 3 version of the .Va read member is used instead of a traditional progress bar. Otherwise a progress bar is calculated as percentage read to file length. .Fn action callback must maintain these member values for mini-progress bars. .Pp The .Fn dpv_free function performs .Xr free 3 on private global variables initialized by .Fn dpv . .Sh ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables are referenced by .Nm : .Bl -tag -width ".Ev USE_COLOR" .It Ev DIALOG Override command string used to launch .Xr dialog 1 .Pq requires Dv DPV_DISPLAY_DIALOG or .Xr Xdialog 1 .Pq requires Dv DPV_DISPLAY_XDIALOG ; default is either .Ql dialog .Pq for Dv DPV_DISPLAY_DIALOG or .Ql Xdialog .Pq for Dv DPV_DISPLAY_XDIALOG . .It Ev DIALOGRC If set and non-NULL, path to .Ql .dialogrc file. .It Ev HOME If .Ql Ev $DIALOGRC is either not set or NULL, used as a prefix to .Ql .dialogrc .Pq i.e., Ql $HOME/.dialogrc . .It Ev USE_COLOR If set and NULL, disables the use of color when using .Xr dialog 1 .Pq does not apply to Xr Xdialog 1 . .It Ev msg_done Ev msg_fail Ev msg_pending Internationalization strings for overriding the default English strings .Ql Done , .Ql Fail , and .Ql Pending respectively. To prevent their usage, explicitly set the .Va msg_done , .Va msg_fail , and .Va msg_pending members of .Fn dpv .Fa config argument to default macros .Pq DPV_DONE_DEFAULT, DPV_FAIL_DEFAULT, and DPV_PENDING_DEFAULT or desired values. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa $HOME/.dialogrc" -compact .It Pa $HOME/.dialogrc .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dialog 1 , .Xr Xdialog 1 , .Xr dialog 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm library first appeared in .Fx 10.2 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Devin Teske Aq dteske@FreeBSD.org .Sh BUGS .Xr Xdialog 1 , when given both .Ql Fl -title Ar title .Po see above .Ql Va title member of .Va struct dpv_config .Pc and .Ql Fl -backtitle Ar backtitle .Po see above .Ql Va backtitle member of .Va struct dpv_config .Pc , 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 . Embed escaped newlines within prompt text(s) to force line breaks. .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 3 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 unsetenv 3 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.
