+# libnotify
+
+## Description
+
+libnotify is a library for sending desktop notifications to a notification
+daemon, as defined in the [org.freedesktop.Notifications][fdo-spec] Desktop
+Specification. These notifications can be used to inform the user about an event
+or display some form of information without getting in the user's way.
+
+## Notice
+
+For GLib based applications the [GNotification][gnotif] API should be used
+instead.
