NAME¶
avahi.service - avahi-daemon static service file
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/avahi/services/*.service
DESCRIPTION¶
/etc/avahi/services/*.service are XML fragments containing static DNS-SD
service data. Every service file can contain multiple service definitions
which share the same name. This is useful for publishing service data for
services which implement multiple protocols. (i.e. a printer implementing
_ipp._tcp and _printer._tcp)
- <service-group> The document tag of avahi
service files. Should contain one <name> and one or more
<service> elements.
- <name replace-wildcards="yes|no">
The service name. If replace-wildcards is "yes", any
occurence of the string "%h" will be replaced by the local host
name. This can be used for service names like "Remote Terminal on
%h". If replace-wildcards is not specified, defaults to
"no".
- <service protocol="ipv4|ipv6|any">
Contains the service information for exactly one service type. Should
contain one <type> and one <port> element.
Optionally it may contain one <domain-name>, one
<host-name>, any number of <subtype> and any
number of <txt-record> elements. The attribute protocol
specifies the protocol to advertise the service on. If any is used
(which is the default), the service will be advertised on both IPv4 and
IPv6.
- <type> Contains the DNS-SD service type for
this service. e.g. "_http._tcp".
- <subtype> Contains an additional DNS-SD
service subtype for this service. e.g.
"_anon._sub._ftp._tcp".
- <domain-name> The domain name this service
should be registered. If omited defaults to the default domain of the avahi
daemon. (probably .local)
- <host-name> The host name of the host that
provides this service. This should be a host that is resolvable by multicast
or unicast DNS. Please note that you need to specify a fully-qualified
domain name (FQDN) here, i.e. .local is not appended implicitly! The host
name doesn't need to be part of the domain specified in
<domain-name>. See avahi.hosts(5) for more information
how to publish additional host name mappings.
- <port> The IP port number the service listens
on.
- <txt-record> DNS-SD TXT record data.
