$ zenity --forms --add-entry="${Name}" --add-password="${Password}" --separator="${;}"
try on your machine
This command invokes the Zenity utility to open a window with a form that includes two fields: one for entering a name and another for entering a password.
The options used in the command:
--forms
specifies that the dialog window will contain a form.--add-entry="${Name}"
adds an entry field to the form with the label "Name". The value entered in this field will be stored in the variable${Name}
.--add-password="${Password}"
adds a password field to the form with the label "Password". The value entered in this field will be stored in the variable${Password}
. Unlike regular text fields, password fields hide the entered characters from being visible on the screen.--separator="${;}"
specifies the separator character used to separate the entered values in the form. In this case, it is set to${;}
which means the separator is a semicolon.
Overall, this command launches a graphical dialog window using Zenity to collect user input for the fields "Name" and "Password", and the values entered will be stored in the respective variables ${Name}
and ${Password}
separated by semicolons.
