tiramisu

desktop notifications, the UNIX way

---

tiramisu is a notification daemon for \*nix desktops that implement notifications using dbus.

Unlike other daemons, tiramisu does not have any sort of window or pop-up, but rather sends all notifications to STDOUT. Doing so enables endless customization from the end-user.

Usage

By default, tiramisu outputs all information from a notification to standard output. You can change this with `-o`, or if you wish to use JSON format, `-j`. If you need the output format to be sanitized (quotes to be escaped), you can do so with `-s`.

Using `-o` will interpolate your desired format.

Appropriate keys are `#source`, `#icon`, `#id`, `#summary`, `#body`, `#actions`, `#hints`, and `#timeout`.

Using `-j` implies `-s`.

Below is an example of the default output of tiramisu with no flags.
