Please provide information on your attempts to resolve.

Until so, we will refrain from sharing any guidance.

The purpose of this Board is the assist users in solving their problems. We are not a coding service. Further, we are not a homework service - and sometimes posts appear to be an attempt to have someone solve a school assignment.

Finally, we urge all members of the Forum to NOT post a solution to this question until effort to resolve is demonstrated.

       avahi-resolve - Resolve one or more mDNS/DNS host name(s) to IP address(es) (and vice versa) using the Avahi daemon

SYNOPSIS

       avahi-resolve-address address ...

DESCRIPTION

       Resolve	one  or more mDNS/DNS host name(s) to IP address(es) (and vice versa) using the Avahi daemon. The daemon is not the standard Avahi
       daemon but a proxy to a Bonjour daemon.

       line. When passing -a, specify one or more IP address to resolve into host names.

       avahi-resolve-host-name is equivalent to avahi-resolve --name.

       avahi-resolve-address is equivalent to avahi-resolve --address.

       -n | --name
	      Translate one or more fully qualified host names into addresses.

       -a | --address
	      Translate one or more addresses into fully qualified host names.

       -v | --verbose
	      Enable verbose mode.

       -6     When resolving a host name, look for IPv6 addresses exclusively.

       -4     When resolving a host name, look for IPv4 addresses exclusively.

       -h | --help
	      Show help.

       -V | --version
