- whiptail(1) is a lightweight replacement for dialog(1),
- to provide dialog boxes for shell scripts. It is built on the
- newt windowing library rather than the ncurses library, allowing
- it to be smaller in embedded enviroments such as installers,
- rescue disks, etc.
-
- whiptail is designed to be drop-in compatible with dialog, but
- has less features: some dialog boxes are not implemented, such
- as tailbox, timebox, calendarbox, etc.
-
- Please see the whiptail(1) man page for details.
