NAME

       DNSServiceRefSockFD - access underlying UNIX domain socket descriptor

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -ldns_sd [ library ... ]
       #include <dns_sd.h>

       DNSServiceRefSockFD(DNSServiceRef *sdRef);

DESCRIPTION

       Access  the  underlying	UNIXTM	domain socket from the initialized DNSServiceRef returned from DNS Service calls. Applications should only
       access the underlying UNIX domain socket to poll for results from the mDNS daemon. Applications should not directly read or  write  to  the
       socket.	When  results are available, applications should call DNSServiceProcessResult(). The application is responsible for processing the
       data on the socket in a timely fashion. The daemon can terminate its connection with a client that does not clear its socket buffer.

RETURN VALUES

       The underlying UNIX domain socket descriptor of the DNSServiceRef or -1 is returned in case of error.
