## Description

## Details

### notify_init ()

    gboolean            notify_init                         (const char *app_name);

Initialized libnotify. This must be called before any other functions.

`app_name` : | The name of the application initializing libnotify.
Returns : | `TRUE` if successful, or `FALSE` on error.

### notify_uninit ()

    void                notify_uninit                       (void);

Uninitialized libnotify.

This should be called when the program no longer needs libnotify for the rest of its lifecycle, typically just before exitting.

### notify_is_initted ()

    gboolean            notify_is_initted                   (void);

Gets whether or not libnotify is initialized.

Returns : | `TRUE` if libnotify is initialized, or `FALSE` otherwise.

### notify_get_app_name ()

    const gchar *       notify_get_app_name                 (void);

Gets the application name registered.

Returns : | The registered application name, passed to `notify_init()`.

### notify_get_server_caps ()

    GList *             notify_get_server_caps              (void);

Queries the server for its capabilities and returns them in a GList.

Returns : | A GList of server capability strings.

### notify_get_server_info ()

    gboolean            notify_get_server_info              (char **ret_name,
                                                             char **ret_vendor,
                                                             char **ret_version,
                                                             char **ret_spec_version);

Queries the server for its information, specifically, the name, vendor, server version, and the version of the notifications specification that it is compliant with.

`ret_name` : | The resulting server name.
`ret_vendor` : | The resulting server vendor.
`ret_version` : | The resulting server version.
`ret_spec_version` : | The resulting version of the specification the server is compliant with.
Returns : | `TRUE` if successful, and the variables passed will be set. `FALSE` on failure.
