NAME

avahi-browse − Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD services using the Avahi daemon

SYNOPSIS

avahi-browse [options] service-type

avahi-browse [options] —all

avahi-browse [options] —browse-domains

avahi-browse [options] —dump-db

avahi-browse-domains [options]

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
