+# Feature: bootchain-interactive
+
+Feature adds the ability to use text dialogs in the initramfs scripts.
+
+## Boot parameters
+
+- `console=...` - Disable to switch TTY's, it useful for network/serial console.
+- `noaskuser` - Disable all dialogs, it useful for console without user.
+- `nolines` - Disable pseudo-graphics line drawing, it useful if not supported.
+
+## Synopsis
+```
+. interactive-sh-functions
+```
+
+## Global variables
+
+- `$IM_BACKTITLE` - Back title for all input and output dialogs.
+- `$IM_WIDGET_ARGS` - Additional arguments for `dialog` command.
+- `$CONSOLE` - Non-empty value, if switching between TTY's are disabled.
+- `$NOASKUSER` - Non-empty value, if all dialogs are disabled.
+- `$NOLINES` - Non-empty value, if pseudo-graphics line drawing are disabled.
+
+## Briefly API
+
+- `IM_is_active()` - Returns 0, if interactive mode already activated.
+- `IM_exec()` - Re-execute specified process on the foreground (tty2 by
+  default).
+- `IM_activate()` - Request to immediately or delayed activation of the
+  interactive mode.
+- `IM_load_widgets()` - Load specified widgets from the library.
+- `IM_load_all()` - Load all available widgets from the library.
+- `IM_start_output()` - Notify `interactive` feature about starting output.
+- `IM_start_input()` - Notify `interactive` feature about starting intput.
+- `IM_show_bootsplash()` - Show bootsplash such as plymoth and start the
+  progress bar.
+- `IM_hide_bootsplash()` - Hide bootsplash such as plymoth and stop the
+  progress bar.
+- `IM_update_bootsplash()` - Notify bootsplash such as plymoth about boot
+  state changes.
+
+## Widgets library
+
+Library is a scripts set, located in /lib/IM-widgets directory inside intitramfs
+iamge. The base set can be extended. Before use input widgets, `IM_start_input()`
+must be called, and `IM_start_output()` in otherwise.
+
+### choice (input)
+
+Display menu with one or more items, labels before items not displayed.
+On success returns 0 and write choosen label to specified variable. Based
+on `dialog --menu`.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+IM_choice <varname> <text> <label1> <item1> [<label2> <item2>…]
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+text="Please choose the installation method."
+
+while ! IM_choice method "$text" \
+    nfs   "NFS server"      \
+    ftp   "FTP server"      \
+    http  "HTTP server"     \
+    cifs  "SAMBA server"    \
+    cdrom "CD-ROM Drive"    \
+    disk  "Hard Disk Drive" \
+    #
+do
+    sleep 0.5
+done
+
+case "$method" in
+nfs)
+…
+esac
+```
+
+### dlgmsg (input)
+
+Display text message. Always returns 0. Based on `dialog --msgbox`.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+IM_dlgmsg <title> <text>
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+IM_dlgmsg "Live is success!" "$text"
+```
+
+### errmsg (input)
+
+Display error message. Always returns 0. Based on `dialog --msgbox`.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+IM_errmsg <text>
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+IM_errmsg "Disk read error, try again!"
+```
+
+### form (input)
+
+Display mixed data form. Input one or more text fields and store values
+to specified varibales. Some variables associated with private data,
+such as password, this input field characters outputs as asterics (`*`).
+On success returns 0 and fill all variables by the entered values.
+Based on `dialog --mixedform`.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+IM_form <title> <text> <text-height> \
+    <varname1> <fldlen1> <caption1>  \
+    [<varname2> <fldlen2> <caption2>…]
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+IM_form "$title" "$text" 5      \
+    server     64 "HTTP-server" \
+    directory 128 "Directory"   \
+    ||
+    continue
+[ -n "$server" ] && [ -n "$directory" ] ||
+    continue
+```
+
+### gauge (output)
+
+Display gauge (progress bar). Integer value from 0 to 100 must be sent
+via stdin to specify displayed percent of the process passed. This is work
+in conjuction with pv command. Always returns 0. Based on `dialog --gauge`.
+
+Note for `netconsole` usage: after process will finish, don't forget reset
+the terminal, otherwise keyboard input will be lost.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+echo <integer> | IM_gauge <title> [<text>]
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+( for i in $(seq 1 10); do
+    echo "${i}0"
+    sleep 1
+  done
+) | IM_gauge "[ Loading... ]"
+
+[ -z "$CONSOLE" ] ||
+    reset
+```
+
+### ponder (output)
+
+Displays the <waiting…> widget, which displays the undefined time of the
+ongoing process, works independently of the main program code. The parameters
+<delay> and <step> at startup determine by how many percent the thermometer
+will automatically advance after a given time, i.e. set the frequency and
+speed of the widget refresh. Always returns 0. Based on the `gauge` widget.
+
+Syntax:
+```
+IM_ponder_start <title> [[[<text>] <delay>] <step>]
+…
+IM_ponder_stop
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+IM_ponder_start "[ Scanning disk... ]" \
+    "Searching random bits on the disk for fill CRNG entropy..."
+find / -type f -print0 |
+    xargs -0 grep "Linus Torvalds" >/tmp/Linus.txt 2>/dev/null
+rm -f /tmp/Linus.txt
+IM_ponder_stop
+```
