NAME

       nutscan_scan_avahi - Scan network for NUT services via mDNS

SYNOPSIS

       #include <nut-scan.h>
       #include <unistd.h> /* useconds_t */

       nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_avahi(useconds_t usec_timeout);

DESCRIPTION

       The nutscan_scan_avahi() function tries to detect the NUT service via mDNS, and its
       associated devices. It uses the Avahi library to do so.

       You MUST call nutscan_init(3) before using this function.

       This function can query perspective IP addresses using NUT protocol, and in this case it
       waits up to usec_timeout microseconds before considering an IP address to be unresponsive.

RETURN VALUE

       The nutscan_scan_avahi() function returns a pointer to a nutscan_device_t structure
       containing all found devices.

       It returns NULL if an error occurs, or if no device is found.
