Description

NotifyNotification represents a passive pop-up notification. It can contain summary text, body text, and an icon, as well as hints specifying how the notification should be presented. The notification is rendered by a notification daemon, and may present the notification in any number of ways. As such, there is a clear separation of content and presentation, and this API enforces that.

Functions

NotifyActionCallback ()

void
(*NotifyActionCallback) (NotifyNotification *notification,
                         char *action,
                         gpointer user_data);

An action callback function.


NOTIFY_ACTION_CALLBACK()

#define NOTIFY_ACTION_CALLBACK(func) ((NotifyActionCallback)(func))

A convenience macro for casting a function to a NotifyActionCallback. This is much like G_CALLBACK().

Parameters

func

The function to cast.
