NAME
     notifyd -- notification server

SYNOPSIS
     notifyd [-d] [-log_file path] [-shm_pages npages]

DESCRIPTION
     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.
