xdg-file-dialog -- command line tool for providing file and directory
selection dialogs
Synopsis
xdg-file-dialog openfilename [--title TITLE] [FILENAME]
xdg-file-dialog openfilenamelist [--title TITLE] [FILENAME]

xdg-file-dialog is for use inside a desktop session only. It is not
recommended to use xdg-file-dialog as root.
Commands
openfilename
Returns the filename with path for a file to read from. FILENAME
can optionally be used to specify path and filename of a
preselection.
openfilenamelist
Returns one or more filenames with path for files to read from,
each on a new line. FILENAME can optionally be used to specify
path and filename of a preselection.
savefilename
Returns the filename with path for file to write to. FILENAME can
optionally be used to specify path and filename of a preselection.
directory
Returns the path for an exsiting directory. DIRNAME can optionally
be used to specify a path of a preselection.
Options
--title TITLE
Sets the dialog's title (caption) to the specified text.
--help
Show command synopsis.
--manual
Show this manualpage.
--version
Show the xdg-utils version information.
Exit Codes

failure. The following failure codes can be returned:
1
Error in command line syntax.
2
One of the files passed on the command line did not exist.
3
A required tool could not be found.
4
