avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd(1)				      General Commands Manual					avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd(1)

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
	      Log to syslog instead of STDERR. Implied by --daemonize

       --debug
	      Increase verbosity to debug level

       --no-drop-root
	      Don't drop root priviliges after startup and don't require daemon to be started as root. We recommend not to use this option.

       --no-chroot
	      Don't chroot(2) the daemon. This option is only available when compiled with chroot() support.

       --no-proctitle
	      Don't change the process name while running. Unless this option is specified avahi will reflect it's current state and selected host
	      name in the process title.

       -k | --kill
	      Kill an already running avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd. (equivalent to sending a SIGTERM)

       -r | --reload
	      Tell an already running avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd to reread the files from /etc/avahi/services/. (equivalent to sending a SIGHUP)

       -c | --check
	      Return 0 as return code when avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd is already running.

       -h | --help
	      Show help

       -v | --version
	      Show version information

FILES

       /etc/avahi/hosts: additional static hostname mappings to publish in mDNS, see avahi.hosts(5) for more information.

       /etc/avahi/services/*.service: static service definitions, see avahi.service(5) for more information.

SIGNALS

       SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT: avahi-daemon will shutdown. This is issued by passing --kill to avahi-daemon.

       SIGHUP: avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd will reload and static service definitions from /etc/avahi/services/.
