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- Show help.
-V | –version- Show version information.
