FYI (for your information) is a command line utility to send desktop
notifications to the user via a notification daemon implementing XDG
desktop notifications.
It is a almost a notify-send clone, with the following differences:
* notify-send does not implement --close.
* notify-send does not expose activation tokens (needed for window
focus/activation) in any meaningful way. It prints it as a debug
message when G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all; fyi prints it when you use
--print-token.
* fyi has consistent syntax in its --action and --hintoptions.
* fyi can print the reason a notification was closed, with --print-reason.
* fyi can query the notification daemon for its name and version information.
* fyi can query the notification daemon for its capabilities.
* fyi has shell completions (though only fish for now).
* fyi has a single run-time dependency: dbus (the original D-Bus
implementation).
