NAME
     nfy -- a minimal and daemonless notification program for X

SYNOPSIS
     nfy [-d duraton] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     nfy  reads  input	from  stdin (only), creates a temporary popup window and
     displays it. Configuration is done by editing the 'config.h'  file  in  the
     source code.

     It  has  non-blocking  behaviour, meaning that commands coming after it can
     execute normally without them having to wait for nfy to finish first.  This
     is especially useful inside scripts.

     nfy handles multiple notifications by queuing them using a lock file.

OPTIONS
     -d duration
	     Specify the duration of  the  notification.  The  default	duration
	     value is specified in 'config.h'.

     -v      prints version to stdout and exits.

SIGNALS
     nfy handles only SIGALRM, SIGTERM and SIGINT.  It receives a SIGALRM signal
     by default after the specified duration of the notification.

SEE ALSO
     fcntl(2), alarm(3), signal(3), Xft(3), Xrandr(3)
