deskutils/fyi 1.0.4_1 DragonFly

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 (bash and fish). * fyi has a single run-time dependency: dbus.
