notifyd —
notification server
notifyd |
[-d] [-log_file
path] [-shm_pages
npages] |
notifyd is the server for the Mac OS X
notification system described in notify(3). The server is
started automatically by launchd during system
startup.
The -d option causes
notifyd to log debugging messages to a log file.
Messages are not logged to ASL to avoid potential deadlocks, since the ASL
system makes use of the notify(3) system.
The default log file is
/var/log/notifyd.log. An alternate log file path may
be specified following the -log_file flag.
The -shm_pages
npages option sets the number of shared memory pages
used for passive notification. The default is one page. If a value of zero
is specified, shared memory is disabled and passive notifications are
performed using IPC between the client and the server.
