$ notifyd -d
try on your machine

The command "notifyd -d" is likely referring to running the "notifyd" service or daemon with the debug flag enabled.

In general, a daemon is a background process or service that performs specific tasks or provides certain functionality in an operating system. "notifyd" is a daemon that handles notifications or messages in this context.

The "-d" flag is used to enable debugging mode. Debugging mode provides more detailed information about the operations and processes performed by the daemon, helping to diagnose and troubleshoot any issues.

By running the "notifyd" daemon with the "-d" flag, you can monitor its behavior and obtain debug logs or messages, which can be helpful in identifying and fixing any problems related to notifications.
