SYNOPSIS
merde-notify |
DESCRIPTION
merde-notify reads newline-delimited
messages from the session notification FIFO and shows each one as a
layer-shell overlay for five seconds. Input lines are limited to 1023 bytes;
additional bytes before the newline are discarded. Tabs, control bytes, and
repeated whitespace are normalized for display, and the rendered message is
limited to 120 bytes. Messages are also appended to
notifications.log. The program is normally started
and managed by merde(1); users send messages with
merdectl(1).
ENVIRONMENT

MERDE_RUNTIME_DIR- Locates notifications.fifo and notifications.log.
EXIT STATUS
The merde-notify utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
DIAGNOSTICS
FIFO, font, and Wayland failures are written to the MERDE session log described by merde(1).
