Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using
the Avahi daemon.
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
