== OPTIONS

*-v, --version*::
Display version number and exit.

*-h, --help*::
Display a short help-message and exit.

*-t, --type* 'type'::
Display either a warning or error message. This only changes the color scheme
for the i3-nagbar. Default: error.

*-m, --message* 'message'::

*-f, --font* 'font'::
Select font that is being used.

*-b, --button* 'button' 'action'::
Create a button with text 'button'. The 'action' are the shell commands that
will be executed by this button. Multiple buttons can be defined.

i3-sensible-terminal.

*-B, --button-no-terminal* 'button' 'action'::
Same as above, but will execute the shell commands directly, without launching a
terminal emulator.

== DESCRIPTION

i3-nagbar is used by i3 to tell you about errors in your configuration file
(for example). While these errors are logged to the logfile (if any), the past
has proven that users are either not aware of their logfile or do not check it
after modifying the configuration file.

== EXAMPLE

------------------------------------------------
i3-nagbar -m 'You have an error in your i3 config file!' \
-b 'edit config' 'i3-sensible-editor ~/.config/i3/config'
