avahi.hosts(5)							File Formats Manual						    avahi.hosts(5)

NAME

       avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/avahi/hosts

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful
       when publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.service(5) for more information.

       The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names	should	be
       in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix.
