NAME
       notify-send - a program to send desktop notifications

SYNOPSIS

       notify-send [OPTIONS] {summary} [body]

DESCRIPTION
       With notify-send	you can	send desktop notifications to the user via a
       notification daemon from	the command line. These	notifications can be
       used to inform the user about an	event or display some form of
       information without getting in the user's way.

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
	   Show	help and exit.

       -a, --app-name=APP_NAME
	   Specifies the app name for the notification.

       -A, --action=[NAME=]Text...
	   Specifies the actions to display to the user. Implies --wait	to
	   wait	for user input.	May be set multiple times. The NAME of the
	   action is output to stdout. If NAME is not specified, the numerical
	   index of the	option is used (starting with 1).

       -u, --urgency=LEVEL
	   Specifies the urgency level (low, normal, critical).

       -t, --expire-time=TIME
	   The duration, in milliseconds, for the notification to appear on
	   screen.

	   Not all implementations use this parameter. GNOME Shell and Notify
	   OSD always ignore it, while Plasma ignores it for notifications
	   with	the critical urgency level.

       -i, --icon=ICON
	   Specifies an	icon filename or stock icon to display.

       -c, --category=TYPE[,TYPE...]
	   Specifies the notification category.

       -h, --hint=TYPE:NAME:VALUE
	   Specifies basic extra data to pass. Valid types are BOOLEAN,	INT,
	   DOUBLE, STRING, BYTE	and VARIANT.

       -p, --print-id
	   Print the notification ID.

       -r, --replace-id=REPLACE_ID
	   The ID of the notification to replace.

       -w, --wait
	   Wait	for the	notification to	be closed before exiting. If the
	   expire-time is set, it will be used as the maximum waiting time.

       -e, --transient
	   Show	a transient notification. Transient notifications by-pass the
	   server's persistence	capability, if any. And	so it won't be
	   preserved until the user acknowledges it.
