is an X11-based pass-phrase dialog for
use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called from the program and not
invoked directly. supports most standard Toolkit command line arguments,
with the exception of and See If exactly one non-option argument
is provided on the command line, it is displayed in the dialog instead
of the default label. If the argument contains newline characters (’\n’), each
line of text is displayed on a separate line in the dialog. The features
of are as follows: Configurable via the standard X resource mechanisms
etc. Requires only stock X11 libraries (libXt, libX11, libSM, libICE).
Can be configured to grab the keyboard and/or pointer (grabs the keyboard
by default, not the pointer). The user interface is somewhat different
than most password/pass-phrase dialogs and more similar to the X11-based
pass-phrase dialog that accompanies the regular SSH distribution. Instead
of a text field that fills with asterisks or some other character as the
user enters the pass-phrase, a series of LED-like areas light up one-by-one
with each pass-phrase character entered, beginning from the left-hand edge
of the dialog. When they reach the right-hand edge, they go dark one-by-one
again, and so on. This gives the user feedback that pass-phrase characters
have been entered, but does not provide onlookers with a cue as to the
length of the pass-phrase. Pressing the button accepts the pass-phrase
(even if it is empty), which is printed on the standard output, and the
dialog exits with a status of zero (success). Pressing the button discards
the pass-phrase, and the dialog exits with non-zero status. The following
keystrokes work as expected: Erase previous character Erase entire
pass-phrase Accept pass-phrase (OK) Discard pass-phrase (Cancel)

The following resources are used to
customize the application globally: should wait
for a key or button press before it gives up and exits. A timeout of means
wait forever. spacing and width values are intended for. If the actual
horizontal (x) resolution of the X server is significantly greater or less
than this value, portions of the dialog, indicator, and button widgets
are stretched or shrunk horizontally to take the difference into account.
The value is a positive integer, followed by a slash and a one- or two-character
unit abbreviation. Valid units are inches or and meters (75 pixels
per inch). spacing and height values are intended for. If the actual
vertical (y) resolution of the X server is significantly greater or less
than this value, portions of the dialog, indicator, and button widgets
are stretched or shrunk vertically to take the difference into account.
Valid values are the same as for above. (75 pixels per inch). around
the value of beyond which some widgets will be stretched or shrunk horizontally
to fit the current actual horizontal resolution. Valid values are the same
as for For example, if the default X resolution is and the X resolution
fuzz is then widgets won’t be scaled horizontally unless the actual horizontal
resolution is less than 25 pixels per inch or greater than 125 pixels per
inch. (20 pixels per inch). around the value of beyond which some
widgets will be stretched or shrunk vertically to fit the current actual
vertical resolution. Valid values are the same as for above. (20 pixels
per inch). The following resources are recognized by the Dialog widget:
The title of the application as specified to the window manager. The
label displayed above the led indicators. The font to be used to display
the label. The following Resources are recognized by the dialog, button,
and indicator widgets and the main widget to customize the 3D appearance
(all measurements are in pixels): The foreground color of the widget.
This is the text color of the label for buttons and dialog and the color
of the active led for the indicator. The background color of the widget.
In the case of the indicator this is the color of the inactive led. The
color used by the sides of the widget exposed to the light (top and left).
The color used by the sides of the widget in the shadow (right and bottom).
The thickness of the 3D border of the widget. The color of the border
around the widget. The width of the border around the widget. The space
to leave on left and right sides of the widget. The space to leave on top
and bottom sides of the widget. The following resources are recognized
by the indicator widgets: The minimum number of indicators to display
in the dialog. The maximum number of indicators to display in the dialog.
Each button uses the following resources to customize its label: the
string to display on the button. the font to use for this button label.
