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)

XML TAGS

       <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.
