DESCRIPTION
     fnott is a keyboard driven and lightweight notification daemon for wlroots-
     based Wayland compositors, implementing (parts of) the Desktop Notification
     Specification.

     fnott  is	the  daemon  part and should be launched when you log in to your
     desktop. You should be able to configure your Wayland compositor  to  auto-
     launch it for you.

     With  the daemon running, you will be able to receive and display notifica-
     tions:

	 notify-send "this is the summary" "this is the body"

     Use fnottctl(1) to interact with it:

	 fnottctl dismiss

     Or simply click on a notification to dismiss it.

     Notifications are prioritized in the following way:

     *	 urgency - normal notifications always have higher priority than low-ur-
	 gency notifications, and critical notifications always have higher pri-
	 ority than normal notifications.
     *	 time - older notifications have higher priority  than	newer  notifica-
	 tions.

     Notifications  are  displayed with the lowest priority ones at the top, and
     the highest priority ones at the bottom (this is subject to change).
