//! Displays dialog boxes using various backends.
//!
//! The `dialog` crate can be used to display different types of dialog boxes.  The supported types
//! are:
//! - [`Input`][]: a text input dialog
//! - [`Message`][]: a simple message box
//! - [`Password`][]: a password input dialog
//! - [`Question`][]: a question dialog box
//!
//! These dialog boxes can be displayed using various backends:
//! - [`Dialog`][]: uses `dialog` to display ncurses-based dialog boxes (requires the external
//!   `dialog` tool)
//! - [`Stdio`][]: prints messages to the standard output and reads user input form standard input
//!   (intended as a fallback backend)
//! - [`Zenity`][]: uses `zenity` to display GTK-based dialog boxes (requires the external `zenity`
//!   tool)
//!
//! You can let `dialog` choose the backend by calling the [`show`][] method on a dialog box.  If
//! you want to choose the backend yourself, create a backend instance and pass it to
//! [`show_with`][].  You can also use the [`default_backend`][] function to create a backend.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Show a message box using the default backend:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use dialog::DialogBox;
//!
//! dialog::Message::new("Did you know that I am using the dialog crate?")
//!     .title("Public Service Announcement")
//!     .show()
//!     .expect("Could not display dialog box");
//! ```
//!
//! Show a message box using the [`Dialog`][] backend with customized settings:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use dialog::DialogBox;
//!
//! let mut backend = dialog::backends::Dialog::new();
//! backend.set_backtitle("dialog demo");
//! backend.set_width(100);
//! backend.set_height(10);
//! dialog::Message::new("Did you know that I am using the dialog crate?")
//!     .title("Public Service Announcement")
//!     .show_with(&backend)
//!     .expect("Could not display dialog box");
//! ```
//!
//! Query a string from the user:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use dialog::DialogBox;
//!
//! let name = dialog::Input::new("Please enter your name")
//!     .title("Name")
//!     .show()
//!     .expect("Could not display dialog box");
//! match name {
//!     Some(name) => println!("Hello {}!", name),
//!     None => println!("Hello stranger!"),
//! };
//! ```
