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)
