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.
