<description>
<p>Register an mDNS/DNS-SD service or host name/address mapping using the Avahi daemon.</p>
</description>
<options>
<p>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).</p>
<option>
<p><opt>-s | --service</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Register a service. avahi-publish-service is equivalent to avahi-publish -s.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-a | --address</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Register an address/host name mapping. avahi-publish-address is equivalent to avahi-publish -a.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-v | --verbose</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Enable verbose mode.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-H | --host=</opt> <arg>HOSTNAME</arg></p>
<optdesc><p>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.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-d | --domain=</opt> <arg>DOMAIN</arg></p>
<optdesc><p>Publish the service in the specified domain. If
omitted the Avahi daemon will publish it in its default domain
(usually .local).</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>--subtype=</opt> <arg>SUBTYPE</arg></p>
<optdesc><p>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.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-f | --no-fail</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects, try to reconnect.</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-h | --help</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Show help</p></optdesc>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>-V | --version</opt></p>
<optdesc><p>Show version information.</p></optdesc>
