DESCRIPTION
Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using the
Avahi daemon. The daemon is not the standard Avahi daemon but a proxy
to a Bonjour 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
Show help.
-V | --version
Show version information.
