avahi.service − avahi-daemon static service file
/etc/avahi/services/*.service
/etc/avahi/services/*.service are XML fragments containing static DNS-SD service data. Every service file can contain multiple service definitions which share the same name. This is useful for publishing service data for services which implement multiple protocols. (i.e. a printer implementing _ipp._tcp and _printer._tcp)
<service-group>
The document tag of avahi service files. Should contain
one <name> and one or more
<service> elements.
<name replace-wildcards="yes|no"> The
service name. If
replace-wildcards is "yes", any occurence of
the string "%h" will be
replaced by the local host name. This can be used for
service names
like "Remote Terminal on %h". If
replace-wildcards is not specified,
defaults to "no".
<service protocol="ipv4|ipv6|any">
Contains the service information for
exactly one service type. Should contain one
<type> and one <port>
element. Optionally it may contain one
<domain-name>, one <host-name>,
any number of <subtype> and any number of
<txt-record> elements. The
attribute protocol specifies the protocol to
advertise the service on.
If any is used (which is the default), the service
will be advertised
on both IPv4 and IPv6.
<type> Contains the DNS-SD service type for this
service. e.g.
"_http._tcp".
<subtype> Contains an additional DNS-SD service
subtype for this
service. e.g. "_anon._sub._ftp._tcp".
<domain-name> The domain name this service should
be registered. If
omited defaults to the default domain of the avahi daemon.
(probably
.local)
<host-name> The host name of the host that
provides this service. This
should be a host that is resolvable by multicast or unicast
DNS. Please
note that you need to specify a fully-qualified domain name
(FQDN)
here, i.e. .local is not appended implicitly! The host name
doesn’t
need to be part of the domain specified in
<domain-name>. See
avahi.hosts(5) for more information how to publish
additional host name
mappings.
<port> The IP port number the service listens on.
<txt-record> DNS-SD TXT record data.
