     11 .Sh DESCRIPTION
     12 .Nm
     13 reads input from stdin (only), creates a temporary popup window and \
     14 displays it. Configuration is done by editing the 'config.h' file in the \
     15 source code.
     16 .Pp
     17 It has non-blocking behaviour, meaning that commands coming after it can \
     18 execute normally without them having to wait for
     19 .Nm
     20 to finish first.
     21 This is especially useful inside scripts.
