SYNOPSIS¶

getting in the user's way.

(Ubuntu's Notify OSD and GNOME Shell both ignore this parameter.)

- Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display.
- -c, --category=TYPE[,TYPE...]
- Specifies the notification category.
Help options:¶
- -?, --help

- -h, --hint=TYPE:NAME:VALUE
- Specifies basic extra data to pass. Valid types are int, double, string
and byte.
