avahi.service(5) File Formats Manual avahi.service(5) NAME avahi.service - avahi-daemon static service file SYNOPSIS /etc/avahi/services/*.service DESCRIPTION /etc/avahi/services/*.service are XML fragments containing static DNS- SD service data. Every service file can contain multiple service defin- itions 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) XML TAGS <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-wild- cards 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> ele- ment. Optionally it may contain one <domain-name>, one <host-name>, any number of <subtype> and any number of <txt-record> elements. The at- tribute 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 ser- vice. 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 value-format="text|binary-hex|binary-base64"> DNS-SD TXT record data. If value-format is "text", the value of the TXT record is taken verbatim. If value-format is "binary-hex" then the value of TXT record is decoded by taking pairs of characters after the "=" char and interpreting them as the textual representation of the two-digit hexa- decimal number. Both uppercase and lowercase hexadecimal digits are al- lowed. The 0x or 0X prefix is not allowed. This requires the length of the value to be even. If value-format is "binary-base64" then the value of TXT record is decoded with a base64 decoder. The character set used is A-Za-z0-9+/. This requires the length of the value to be a multiple of 4, with "=" as padding at the end. If value-format is not specified, defaults to "text". Examples (all the values are decoded to the string "value" without quotes): <txt-record>key=value<txt-record> <txt-record value-format="text">key=value<txt-record> <txt-record value-format="binary-hex">key=76616c7565<txt-record> <txt-record value-format="binary-base64">key=dmFsdWU=<txt- record> AUTHORS The Avahi Developers <avahi (at) lists (dot) freedesktop (dot) org>; Avahi is available from http://avahi.org/ SEE ALSO avahi-daemon(8), avahi.hosts(5) COMMENTS This man page was written using xml2man(1) by Oliver Kurth.
