COMMANDS

       dismiss [-a|--all] [-g|--group] [-n <id>]
           Dismisses a notification.

           Options:

               Dismiss all notifications.

           -h, --no-history
               Dismiss the current notification without adding it to history.

           -n <id>
               Dismiss the notification with the given id. Defaults to the first notification.

       restore
           Restores the most recently expired notification from the history buffer.

       invoke [-n <id>] [action]
           Invokes  an  action on a notification. If action is not specified, invokes the default action. Action
           names can be discovered using `makoctl list`.

           Options:

           -n <id>
               Invoke the action on the notification with the given id. Defaults to the first notification.

       menu [-n <id>] <program> [argument...]
           Use a program to select an action on a notification. The list of actions are joined on  newlines  and
           passed  to  program.  The  program should write the selected action to stdout. If an action is given,
           this action will be invoked.

           If no action is found, or no action is selected, makoctl will return non-zero.

           Options:

           -n <id>
               List the actions of the notification with the given id. Defaults to the first notification.
