=head1 NAME
dunst - A customizable and lightweight notification-daemon
=head1 SYNOPSIS
dunst [-conf file] [-font font] [-geometry geom] [-format fmt] [-follow mode] [-monitor n] [-history_length n] ...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Dunst is a highly configurable and lightweight notification daemon.
=head1 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-h/--help>
List all command line flags
=item B<-conf/-config file>
Use alternative config file.
=item B<-v/--version>
Print version information.
=item B<-print>
Print notifications to stdout. This might be useful for logging, setting up
rules or using the output in other scripts.
=item B<->F<SETTING> B<[value]>
Where F<SETTING> can be any setting that's available in the global section of
the configuration file. See dunst(5) for possible settings.
Each configuration option in the global section can be overridden from the
command line by adding a single dash in front of it's name.
For example the font option can be overridden by running
$ dunst -font "LiberationSans Mono 4"
Configuration options that take boolean values can only currently be set to
"true" through the command line via the same method. e.g.
$ dunst -shrink
This is a known limitation of the way command line parameters are parsed and
will be changed in the future.
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION
An example configuration file is included (usually /etc/dunst/dunstrc). Note:
this was previously /usr/share/dunst/dunstrc.
Before using dunst, copy this file to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc and edit
it accordingly. See dunst(5) for all possible settings.
=head2 NOTIFY-SEND
dunst is able to get different colors for a message via notify-send.
In order to do that you have to add a hint via the -h option.
The progress value can be set with a hint, too.
=over 4
=item notify-send -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444
=item notify-send -h string:bgcolor:#4444ff -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444 -h string:frcolor:#44ff44
=item notify-send -h int:value:42 "Working ..."
=back
=head1 ACTIONS
Dunst allows notifiers (i.e.: programs that send the notifications) to specify
actions. Dunst has support for both displaying indicators for these, and
interacting with these actions.
If "show_indicators" is true and a notification has an action, an "(A)" will be
prepended to the notification format. Likewise, an "(U)" is prepended to
notifications with URLs. It is possible to interact with notifications that
have actions regardless of this setting, though it may not be obvious which
notifications HAVE actions.
The "context" keybinding is used to interact with these actions, by showing a
menu of possible actions. This feature requires "dmenu" or a dmenu drop-in
replacement present. It is preferred to set this keybinding with your window
manager or desktop envirorment and let it execute C<dunsctl context>. Another
option is to set this keybinding in your dunstrc, but this is soon to be deprecated
(and doesn't work on Wayland).
Alternatively, you can invoke an action with a middle click on the notification.
If there is exactly one associated action, or one is marked as default, that one
is invoked. If there are multiple, the context menu is shown. The same applies
to URLs when there are no actions. You can change the mouse button to right click
by setting C<mouse_right_click = close_all> in your dunstrc.
=head1 MISCELLANEOUS
Dunst can be paused via the `dunstctl set-paused true` command. To unpause dunst use
`dunstctl set-paused false`.
Alternatively you can send SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 to pause and unpause
respectively. For Example:
=over 4
=item killall -SIGUSR1 dunst # pause
=item killall -SIGUSR2 dunst # resume
=back
When paused dunst will not display any notifications but keep all notifications
in a queue. This can for example be wrapped around a screen locker (i3lock,
slock) to prevent flickering of notifications through the lock and to read all
missed notifications after returning to the computer.
