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 main window of has 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. Some portions of are derived directly or indirectly from portions
