pekwm_dialog(1)			  User Manual		       pekwm_dialog(1)

NAME
       pekwm_dialog - a	xmessage inspired dialog application

SYNOPSIS
       pekwm_dialog [--display]	message

DESCRIPTION
       pekwm_dialog presents a simple dialog with a title, image, message text
       and  a  button  for each	options	specified. If no options are specified
       the dialog will have an Ok button.

       The caller can identify which options was selected by checking the exit
       code of the application.	The first option will exit with	status code 0,
       next with 1 and so on.

       Given this behavior it is recommended to	have ok	as  the	 first	option
       and then	cancel as the second and then further options. This caters for
       standard	exit code 0 on ok, and cancel would give the same exit code as
       on errors.

       The illustration	below depicts the layout of dialog elements:

	      --------------------------------------------
