    <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>
