DESCRIPTION
Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using the Avahi daemon.
OPTIONS
Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g. _http._tcp) to browse for on the command line, or -a to browse for all available service types. Items that appear on the network are prefixed with "+", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". If –resolve is passed items that are resolved are prefixed with "=".
- -a | –all
- Browse for all service types registered on the LAN, not just the one specified on the command line.
- -D | –browse-domains
- Browse for browsing domains instead for services. avahi-browse-domains is equivalent to avahi-browse –browse-domains
- -d | –domain= DOMAIN
- Browse in the specified domain. If omitted avahi-browse will browse in the default browsing domain (usually: local)
- -v | –verbose
- Enable verbose mode.
- -t | –terminate
- Terminate after dumping a more or less complete list.
- -c | –cache
- Terminate after dumping all entries available in the cache.
- -l | –ignore-local
- Ignore local services, show only remote services.
- -r | –resolve
- Automatically resolve services found.
- -f | –no-fail
- Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects, try to reconnect.
- -p | –parsable
- Make output easily parsable for usage in scripts. If enabled fields are separated by semicolons (;), service names are escaped. It is recommended to combine this with –no-db-lookup.
- -k | –no-db-lookup
- Don't lookup services types in service type database.
- -b | –dump-db
- Dump the service type database (may be combined with -k)
- -h | –help
