NAME

       mdns-scan - Scan for mDNS/DNS-SD services published on the local network

SYNOPSIS

       mdns-scan

DESCRIPTION

       mdns-scan  is  a  tool  for  scanning for mDNS/DNS-SD published services on the local network. It issues a mDNS PTR query to the special RR
       _services._dns-sd._udp.local for retrieving a list of all currently registered services on the local link.

OPTIONS

       mdns-scan has no commandline options.

NOTES

       mdns-scan is not a good mDNS citizen since it queries continuously for services and doesn't implement features like Duplicate  Suppression.
       It is intended for usage as a debugging tool only.

       mdns-scan  is incomplete since it doesn't resolve mDNS services for you - it just dumps their PTR RRs. To understand these records you need
       minimal knowledge of DNS-SD and how it works.

       mdns-scan does not terminate on its own behalf. It scans for services continuously until the user kills it by pressing C-c.

       mdns-scan does not rely on a local mDNS responder daemon. It has no dependencies besides the GNU libc. It has been tested on Linux only.

       mdns-scan does NOT scan for local mDNS enabled hosts or A/AAAA RRs, it scans for DNS-SD registered services, nothing else.

NAME

       xmms2-mdns-avahi - announces XMMS2 via mDNS

SYNOPSIS

       xmms2-mdns-avahi

DESCRIPTION

       XMMS2  is a redesign of the XMMS (http://xmms2.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!)
       user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of  this,  there  is  a  flexible
       media library to organize your music.

       xmms2-mdns-avahi  is  the  Avahi  mDNS announcing client for XMMS2.  xmms2-mdns-avahi is designed to announce the presence of an accessible
       XMMS2 TCP socket if one is available.

       xmms2-mdns-avahi offers a _xmms2._tcp service if, and only if, the XMMS_PATH_FULL enviornmental variable contains a TCP socket. This allows
       clients that support mDNS discovery to easily locate and connect to this xmms2d(1) instance.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       XMMS_PATH_FULL
	      A  complete list of URL paths separated by ';' pointed to the xmms2d(1).	See IPC SOCKET in xmms2d(1) for details of possible values
	      for this variable

HISTORY

       The XMMS2 Project was started by Tobias Rundstrom and Anders Gustafsson. It is developed with their lead by a small group  of  contributers
       from all over the world.
