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>, any number of
63 <opt><subtype></opt> and any number of
64 <opt><txt-record></opt> elements. The attribute
65 <opt>protocol</opt> specifies the protocol to advertise the
66 service on. If <opt>any</opt> is used (which is the default),
67 the service will be advertised on both IPv4 and IPv6.</p>
71 <p><opt><type></opt> Contains the DNS-SD service type for this service. e.g. "_http._tcp".</p>
75 <p><opt><subtype></opt> Contains an additional DNS-SD service subtype for this service. e.g. "_anon._sub._ftp._tcp".</p>
79 <p><opt><domain-name></opt> The domain name this service
80 should be registered. If omited defaults to the default domain
81 of the avahi daemon. (probably .local)</p>
85 <p><opt><host-name></opt> The host name of the host that
86 provides this service. This should be a host that is
87 resolvable by multicast or unicast DNS. Please note that you
88 need to specify a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) here,
89 i.e. .local is not appended implicitly! The host name doesn't
90 need to be part of the domain specified in
91 <opt><domain-name></opt>. See <manref name="avahi.hosts"
92 section="5"/> for more information how to publish additional
93 host name mappings.</p>
97 <p><opt><port></opt> The IP port number the service listens on.</p>
101 <p><opt><txt-record></opt> DNS-SD TXT record data.</p>
