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

*-h, --help*::

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

*-b, --button* 'button' 'action'::

i3-sensible-terminal.

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

*-p, --primary*::
Always opens the i3-nagbar on the primary monitor. By default it opens on the
focused monitor.

== 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'
