Through 1994 and 1995, contributors added checklist, menu, textbox, color, shadows, radiolist, gauge, mouse support, and related features. ### 采用历史 dialog became part of Unix installer and system-script culture because shell scripts could ask structured questions without depending on a graphical desktop. The official history notes FreeBSD's fork and its use around sysinstall, and the project page compares related tools such as whiptail, Xdialog, gdialog, zenity, kdialog, and bsddialog. ### 使用方式 The manpage describes dialog as a program that lets scripts present questions or display messages using dialog boxes. Common package-manager users install it so shell scripts can use widgets such as checklist, menu, gauge, inputbox, passwordbox, textbox, and yesno. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 dialog matters to package people because it is one of the small tools that makes source builds, installers, and distribution scripts feel interactive while still being plain shell. Its long compatibility story explains why many packages also know about whiptail and other dialog-like front ends. ### 时间线 - 1993: dialog 0.1 released by Savio Lam. - 1994: checklist, menu, color, shadow, radiolist, and gauge-era functionality appeared across early releases and forks. - 2001: Vincent Stemen sent patches that were folded into ongoing dialog snapshots. - 2012: dialog 1.2-era widget coverage and compatibility history were documented on the official site. ### Related projects - Official related and compatibility discussion covers lxdialog, Xdialog, whiptail, gdialog, zenity, kdialog, and bsddialog. ### 来源 - - - - ## 安全说明 generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger 风险:** yellow / 中 - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
