NAME

       avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd - The Avahi daemon bridge to dsd

SYNOPSIS

       avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd [options]

       avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd --kill

       avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd --check

DESCRIPTION

       The  daemon  implements	a  DBUS interface which provides a rich object oriented interface to DBUS enabled applications which browse for or
       register for services.

       Instead of implementing Apple's ZeroConf architecture (also known as "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour") it makes calls to the DNS Service Discovery
       API provided by Bonjour and so functions as a Bonjour client.

OPTIONS

       -D | --daemonize
	      Daemonize after startup. Implies --syslog

       -s | --syslog

	      Increase verbosity to debug level

       --no-drop-root

       --no-proctitle
