/**
 * @file
 * Desktop services next to windowing: opening URIs, notifications, the bell,
 * appearance preferences, and process paths.
 *
 * Display and surface functions use the display's opening thread (the main
 * thread on Cocoa). Path and locale functions may be called from any thread.
 * On Linux, notifications and appearance use the D-Bus session bus when YASL
 * is built with libdbus-1; without it they report unsupported.
 *
 * Functions that fill a buffer return the full string length in bytes,
 * excluding the NUL, or zero on failure. A result less than cap means out
 * holds the NUL-terminated string. Otherwise out is unchanged; call again with
 * a buffer of at least the result plus one.
