Description

Creates GTK dialog boxes from shell scripts so scripts can ask questions, show progress, collect text, or choose files in a graphical session. It is useful when a small graphical prompt is enough and a full application would be excessive.

Dialogs are only as trustworthy as the script that creates them. Avoid using them for sensitive prompts unless the script source, environment, and displayed text are controlled.
