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'
