The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 3. Developer's Guide to KAlarm

KAlarm provides an interface to allow other applications to request the following functions:

  • schedule a new alarm message

  • display or cancel an already scheduled alarm message

  • cancel an already scheduled alarm message

  • display an already scheduled alarm message

Each of the above functions is implemented both by a DCOP call and by the command line. DCOP calls should be used in preference if KAlarm is already running.
