NAME
     nnoottiiffyydd - notification server

SYNOPSIS
     nnoottiiffyydd [-dd] [-vv] [-sshhmmppaaggeess npages] [-nnoorreessttaarrtt]

DESCRIPTION
     nnoottiiffyydd is the server for the Mac OS X notification system described in
     notify(3).  The server is usually started automatically during system
     startup, and is not run from the command line.

     The -dd option causes nnoottiiffyydd to run in a debugging mode.  It will stay
     attached to the terminal and print verbose log messages to the terminal.

     The -vv option causes nnoottiiffyydd to produce verbose logging information.

     The -sshhmmppaaggeess 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.

     The -nnoorreessttaarrtt option causes nnoottiiffyydd to register as a non-restartable
     server with machinit.
