/**
 * A notification channel is used to receive notifications from various
 * LTTng components.
 *
 * Notification channels connect a client to an LTTng endpoint
 * (see lttng/endpoint.h) and allows client to subscribe and unsubscribe
 * to various types of notifications which are associated to conditions.
 *
 * In order to emit a notification, a condition must be associated to a
 * notify action within a trigger. A client wishing to consume such
 * conditions must explicitly subscribe to them by using an equivalent
 * condition.
