NAME
       avahi.service - avahi-daemon static service file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/avahi/services/*.service

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/avahi/services/*.service  are  XML  fragments  containing static DNS-SD service data. Every service file can contain
       multiple service definitions which share the same name. This is useful for publishing service  data  for  services  which
       implement multiple protocols. (i.e. a printer implementing _ipp._tcp and _printer._tcp)

XML TAGS
       <service-group> The document tag of avahi service files. Should contain one <name> and one or more <service> elements.

       <name  replace-wildcards="yes|no"> The service name. If replace-wildcards is "yes", any occurence of the string "%h" will
       be replaced by the local host name. This can be used for service names like "Remote Terminal on %h". If replace-wildcards
       is not specified, defaults to "no".

       <service  protocol="ipv4|ipv6|any">  Contains  the  service  information for exactly one service type. Should contain one
       <type> and one <port> element. Optionally it may contain one <domain-name>, one <host-name>, any number of <subtype>  and
       any number of <txt-record> elements. The attribute protocol specifies the protocol to advertise the service on. If any is
       used (which is the default), the service will be advertised on both IPv4 and IPv6.

       <type> Contains the DNS-SD service type for this service. e.g. "_http._tcp".

       <subtype> Contains an additional DNS-SD service subtype for this service. e.g. "_anon._sub._ftp._tcp".

       <domain-name> The domain name this service should be registered. If omited defaults to the default domain  of  the  avahi
       daemon. (probably .local)

       <host-name>  The  host name of the host that provides this service. This should be a host that is resolvable by multicast
       or unicast DNS. Please note that you need to specify a fully-qualified domain  name  (FQDN)  here,  i.e.  .local  is  not
       appended  implicitly!  The host name doesn't need to be part of the domain specified in <domain-name>. See avahi.hosts(5)
       for more information how to publish additional host name mappings.

       <port> The IP port number the service listens on.

       <txt-record> DNS-SD TXT record data.
