259.Sh DESCRIPTION
260The
261.Nm bsddialog
262library provides an API to build Text User Interface dialogs and widgets.
263.Pp
264.Fn bsddialog_init
265initializes the library, the only functions that can be called before is
266.Fn bsddialog_initconf
267described later.
268After the initialization the input and output should be handled via the library
269API.
270.Pp
271.Fn bsddialog_init_notheme
272is equivalent to
273.Fn bsddialog_init
274except it does not set the default graphical theme; see
275.Sx Theme
276subsection to set a theme explicitly.
277.Pp
278.Fn bsddialog_end
279restores the screen like before
280.Fn bsddialog_init .
281After the call is not possible to use the library functions.
282.Pp
283.Fn bsddialog_inmode
284returns
285.Dv true
286after
287.Fn bsddialog_init
288or
289.Fn bsddialog_init_notheme
290and before
291.Fn bsddialog_end ,
292.Dv false
293otherwise.
294.Pp
295.Fn bsddialog_backtitle
296prints
297.Fa backtitle
298on the top of the screen.
299The function handles
300.Fa conf.ascii_lines
301and
302.Fa conf.no_lines
303described later.
304.Pp
305.Fn bsddialog_error
306returns a string to describe the last error.
307The function should be called after a
308.Dv BSDDIALOG_ERROR
309returned value.
310.Pp
311.Fn bsddialog_clear
312clears the screen from
313.Fa y .
314.Pp
315.Fn bsddialog_refresh
316useful to refresh the screen after a terminal mode change, see
317.Xr terminfo 5 .
318.Ss Dialogs
319The dialogs have common arguments.
320.Fa text
321is a string printed inside the dialog.
322Each
323.Fa char*
324parameter can be a multibyte character string depending on current locale, see
325.Xr setlocale 3 .
326.Fa rows
327and
328.Fa cols
329are height and width, their value can be a fixed size,
330.Dv BSDDIALOG_AUTOSIZE
331or
332.Dv BSDDIALOG_FULLSCREEN .
333.Fa conf
334is a struct to customize the current dialog, it does not set global properties
335to the library.
