Executor for the kommander visual dialog building tool

Usage

kmdr-executor [generic-options] [-c catalog] {--stdin | file} [arg ...]

Overview

Kommander is a visual dialog building tool whose primary objective is to create as much functionality as possible without using any scripting language.

More specifically, Kommander is a set of tools that allow you to create dynamic GUI dialogs that generate, based on their state, a piece of text. The piece of text can be a command line to a program, any piece of code, business documents that contain a lot of repititious or templated text and so on. The resulting generated text can then be executed as a command line program (hence the name "Kommander"), written to a file, passed to a script for extended processing, and literally anything else you can think of. The best part of it all? You aren't required to write a single line of code!

This executor (kmdr-executor) is used to run a dialog that has been created by the dialog editor (kmdr-editor). Either the dialog file (generally a .kmdr file) should be passed on the command-line, or else the option --stdin should be passed and the dialog description should be supplied as XML on standard input. Additional arguments for the dialog itself may also be supplied.

This application is part of the official KDE web development module.
