description

options

When calling in service registration mode, specify a DNS-SD service name (e.g. "Lennart’s Files"), a service type (e.g. _http._tcp) and an IP port number for the service, optionally followed by any number of TXT record strings on the command line. When calling in address/host name registration mode specify a fully qualified host name and an address (IPv4 or IPv6).
-s | --service

-a | --address

-v | --verbose

Enable verbose mode.

-H | --host= HOSTNAME

Specify a host name for this service, in case it doesn’t reside on the local host. This host name needs to be fully qualified and resolvable using mDNS or unicast DNS.

-d | --domain= DOMAIN

Publish the service in the specified domain. If omitted the Avahi daemon will publish it in its default domain (usually .local).

--subtype= SUBTYPE

Register the service with an additional subtype in addition to the main type. DNS-SD subtypes have the form _anon._sub._ftp._tcp, where _anon is the identifier of the subtype and _ftp._tcp is the main type. You may pass this option multiple times to register the service with multiple subtypes.

-f | --no-fail

Don’t fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects, try to reconnect.

-h | --help

Show help

-V | --version

Show version information.
