xorriso-tcltk 1.5.8 : Proof of concept for GUI frontends of xorriso

Usage:
  /usr/bin/xorriso-tcltk [options]
Options:
 All options must be given with two dashes ("--option") in
 order to distinguish them from any options of the Tcl shell.
 --help
     Print this text and exit.
 --stdio
     Establish connection to xorriso via stdin and stdout.
     E.g. when letting xorriso start this frontend program:
       xorriso -launch_frontend $(which xorriso-tcltk) --stdio --
 --named_pipes cmd_fifo reply_fifo
     Establish connection to a xorriso process started by:
       xorriso -dialog on <cmd_fifo >reply_fifo
     which is then ready for a run of:
       xorriso-tcltk --named_pipes cmd_fifo reply_fifo
     It is important that the parent of xorriso and of this
     tcl/tk frontend opens the named pipe for commands before
     it opens the named pipe for replies. This avoids deadlock.
 --silent_start
     Do not issue the start message xorriso-tcltk-version.
     This works only if --silent_start is the first argument.
 --no_extract
     Do not allow extraction of files from ISO filesystem to
     hard disk. This is not revokable during the program run.
 --no_bwidget
     Do not try to load the Tcl/Tk package BWidget which is
     a prerequisite for the "/" file browser buttons.
 --geometry {+|-}X{+|-}Y
     Sets the position of the main window.
 --click_to_focus
     Chooses that input fields and list boxes get the keyboard
     focus only when being clicked by the mouse. (Default)
 --auto_focus
     Chooses that the keyboard focus is where the mouse
     pointer is.
 --pipe_log_file path
     Set a file address for logging of xorriso commands and
     reply messages and enable this logging.
     The log lines will be appended. Path "-" means stderr.
 --script_log_file path
     Set a file address for logging of essential xorriso
     commands and enable this logging.
     The log lines will be appended. Path "-" means stderr.
 --script_log_all_commands
     With logging of commands log non-essential commands too.
 --use_command_move
     Use xorriso command -move for the "Move to:" button
     if xorriso version is >= 1.2.8
 --use_command_mv
     Use xorriso command -mv for the "Move to:" button.

If neither --stdio nor --named_pipes is given, then this script
will try to locate itself in the filesystem and start a xorriso
run that launches it again.

In the running GUI, click with the rightmost mouse button on
any GUI element to get its particular help text.
