You mean display?

Notifications are what get passed to displays to be displayed, usually on the screen. Non-visual displays such as MailMe “display” the notification in some other way, such as by sending it as an email message.

That's called a shebang (for “shell bang”, since it's most useful for shell scripts). The exec functions and system call handle that for free: We simply run simple-mailer the same way we would run a compiled machine-code program, and the OS reads the shebang line and turns around and runs the script under that program for us.
