1.2. The EVMS user interfaces
There are currently three user interfaces available for EVMS: graphical (GUI), text mode (Ncurses), and the Command Line Interpreter (CLI).
Additionally, you can use the EVMS Application Programming Interface to implement your own customized user interface.
Table 1-1 tells more about each of the EVMS user interfaces.
Table 1-1. EVMS user interfaces
| User interface | Typical user | Types of use | Function |
|---|
| GUI | All | All uses except automation | Allows you to choose from available options only, instead of having to sort through all the options, including ones that are not available at that point in the process. |
| Ncurses | Users who don't have GTK libraries or X Window Systems on their machines | All uses except automation | Allows you to choose from available options only, instead of having to sort through all the options, including ones that are not available at that point in the process. |
| Command Line | Expert | All uses | Allows easy automation of tasks |
