.Sh NAME
.Nm notification_proxy
.Nd notification server
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
enables a trusted remote Mac to read/write notifications on this Mac.
Trust requires that this Mac explicitly pair with the remote Mac.

upon the trusted Mac requesting a connection to this service.

This daemon also allows an untrusted remote Mac to read/write notifications
while this Mac is still in setup. Once this Mac exits device setup,
trust is required.
.Pp
This command is not intended to be invoked directly.
