32 <description> <p><file>@servicedir@/*.service</file> are XML
33 fragments containing static DNS-SD service data. Every service
34 file can contain multiple service definitions which share the
35 same name. This is useful for publishing service data for
36 services which implement multiple protocols. (i.e. a printer
37 implementing _ipp._tcp and _printer.tcp)</p> </description>
39 <section name="XML Tags">
42 <p><opt><service-group></opt> The document tag of avahi
43 service files. Should contain one <opt><name></opt> and one or more
44 <opt><service></opt> elements.</p>
48 <p><opt><name replace-wildcards="yes|no"></opt> The
49 service name. If <opt>replace-wildcards</opt> is "yes", any
50 occurence of the string "%h" will be replaced by the local
51 host name. This can be used for service names like "Remote
52 Terminal on %h". If <opt>replace-wildcards</opt> is not
53 specified, defaults to "no".</p>
57 <p><opt><service protocol="ipv4|ipv6|any"></opt>
58 Contains the service information for exactly one service
59 type. Should contain one <opt><type></opt> and one
60 <opt><port></opt> element. Optionally it may contain one
61 <opt><domain-name></opt>, one
62 <opt><host-name></opt> and multiple
63 <opt><txt-record></opt> elements. The attribute
64 <opt>protocol</opt> specifies the protocol to
65 advertise the service on. If <opt>any</opt> is used (which is
66 the default), the service will be advertised on both IPv4 and
71 <p><opt><type></opt> Contains the DNS-SD service type for this service. e.g. "_http._tcp".</p>
75 <p><opt><domain-name></opt> The domain name this service
76 should be registered. If omited defaults to the default domain
77 of the avahi daemon. (probably .local)</p>
81 <p><opt><host-name></opt> The host name of the host that
82 provides this service. This should be a mDNS resolvable host
83 name. Please note that you need to specify a fully-qualified
84 domain name (FQDN) here, i.e. .local is not appended! The host
85 name needs not to be part of the domain specified in
86 <opt><domain-name></opt>.</p>
90 <p><opt><port></opt> The IP port number the service listens on.</p>
94 <p><opt><txt-record></opt> DNS-SD TXT record data.</p>
