zenity \- display GTK+ dialogs
8
\fBzenity\fP is a program that will display GTK+ dialogs, and return
9
(either in the return code, or on standard output) the users
10

11
from the user, from all manner of shell scripts.

For example, \fBzenity --question\fP will return either 0 or 1,
14
depending on whether the user pressed \fIOK\fP or \fICancel\fP. \fBzenity
15
--entry\fP will output on standard output what the user typed into the
