Description

Creates simple X11 message and question dialogs from scripts. It helps shell scripts show a short prompt, warning, or confirmation in graphical sessions without depending on a larger desktop toolkit.

Dialogs are basic and should not be used for trusted security prompts unless the surrounding script is controlled. For polished applications, a modern toolkit or desktop notification system is usually better.
