- _X_m_e_s_s_a_g_e displays a window containing a message from the
- command line, a file, or standard input. Along the lower
- edge of the message is row of buttons; clicking the left
- mouse button on any of these buttons will cause _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e to
- exit. Which button was pressed is returned in the exit
- status and, optionally, by writing the label of the button
- to standard output.
-
- _X_m_e_s_s_a_g_e is typically used by shell scripts to display
- information to the user or to ask the user to make a choice.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- These are the command line options that _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e
- understands.
-
- ----bbbbuuuuttttttttoooonnnnssss _b_u_t_t_o_n,_b_u_t_t_o_n,...
- This option will cause _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e to create one button
- for each comma-separated _b_u_t_t_o_n argument. The
- corresponding resource is bbbbuuuuttttttttoooonnnnssss. Each _b_u_t_t_o_n
- consists of a label optionally followed by a colon
- and an exit value. The label is the name of the
- Command button widget created and will be the
- default text displayed to the user. Since this is
- the name of the widget it may be used to change any
- of the resources associated with that button. The
- exit value will be returned by _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e if that
- button is selected. The default exit value is 100
- plus the button number. Buttons are numbered from
- the left starting with one. The default string if
- no ----bbbbuuuuttttttttoooonnnnssss option is given is ooookkkkaaaayyyy::::0000.
-
- ----ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuulllltttt _l_a_b_e_l
- Defines the button with a matching _l_a_b_e_l to be the
- default. If not specified there is no default. The
- corresponding resource is ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttBBBBuuuuttttttttoooonnnn. Pressing
- Return anywhere in the _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e window will activate
- the default button. The default button has a wider
- border than the others.

- ----ffffiiiilllleeee _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e

- ffffiiiilllleeee. A _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e of `----' reads from standard input.
- If this option is not supplied, _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e will
- display all non-option arguments in the style of
- _e_c_h_o. Either ----ffffiiiilllleeee or a message on the command line
- should be provided, but not both.
-
- ----pppprrrriiiinnnntttt This will cause the program to print the label of
- the button pressed to standard output. Equivalent
- to setting the pppprrrriiiinnnnttttVVVVaaaalllluuuueeee resource to TRUE. This is
- one way to get feedback as to which button was
- pressed.

- _X_m_e_s_s_a_g_e has a few top-level application resources that
- allow customizations that are specific to _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e.
-
- ffffiiiilllleeee A String resource specifying the file to display.
-
- bbbbuuuuttttttttoooonnnnssss A String resource specifying the buttons to display.
- See the ----bbbbuuuuttttttttoooonnnnssss command-line option.

- A String resource specifying a default button by
- label.

- A Boolean resource that determines whether or not
- the label of the button pressed to exit the program
- is printed. The default is FALSE.

- eeeexxxxiiiitttt((((_v_a_l_u_e))))
- exit immediately with an exit status of _v_a_l_u_e
- (default 0). This action can be used with
- translations to provide alternate ways of exiting
- _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e.

- exit immediately with the exit status specified by

- If it detects an error, _x_m_e_s_s_a_g_e returns 1, so this value
- should not be used with a button.
