NAME
       avahi-publish-service - Register an mDNS/DNS-SD service or host name or address mapping using the Avahi daemon

SYNOPSIS
       avahi-publish -s [options] name service-type port [TXT data ...]

       avahi-publish-service [options] name service-type port [TXT data ...]

       avahi-publish -a [options] host name address

       avahi-publish-address [options] host name address

DESCRIPTION
       Register an mDNS/DNS-SD service or host name/address mapping using the Avahi daemon.

OPTIONS
       When  calling  in service registration mode, specify a DNS-SD service name (e.g. "Lennart's Files"), a service type (e.g.
       _http._tcp) and an IP port number for the service, optionally followed by any number of TXT record strings on the command
       line.  When  calling  in  address/host name registration mode specify a fully qualified host name and an address (IPv4 or
       IPv6).

       -s | --service
              Register a service. avahi-publish-service is equivalent to avahi-publish -s.

       -a | --address
              Register an address/host name mapping. avahi-publish-address is equivalent to avahi-publish -a.

       -v | --verbose
              Enable verbose mode.

       -H | --host= HOSTNAME
              Specify a host name for this service, in case it doesn't reside on the local host. This  host  name  needs  to  be
              fully qualified and resolvable using mDNS or unicast DNS.

       -d | --domain= DOMAIN
              Publish  the  service  in  the specified domain. If omitted the Avahi daemon will publish it in its default domain
              (usually .local).

       --subtype= SUBTYPE
              Register the service with an additional subtype in addition to the  main  type.  DNS-SD  subtypes  have  the  form
              _anon._sub._ftp._tcp,  where  _anon  is the identifier of the subtype and _ftp._tcp is the main type. You may pass
              this option multiple times to register the service with multiple subtypes.

       -f | --no-fail
              Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects,  try  to  recon-
              nect.

       -h | --help
              Show help

       -V | --version
              Show version information.
