| * \section choose_api Choosing an API |
| * |
| * Avahi provides three programming APIs for integration of |
| * mDNS/DNS-SD features into your C progams: |
| * |
| * \li <b>avahi-core</b>: an API for embedding a complete mDNS/DNS-SD stack |
| * into your software. This is intended for developers of embedded |
| * appliances only. We dissuade from using this API in normal desktop |
| * applications since it is not a good idea to run multiple mDNS |
| * stacks simultaneously on the same host. |
| * \li <b>the D-Bus API</b>: an extensive D-Bus interface for browsing and |
| * registering mDNS/DNS-SD services using avahi-daemon. We recommend |
| * using this API for software written in any language other than |
| * C (e.g. Python). |
| * \li <b>avahi-client</b>: a simplifying C wrapper around the D-Bus API. We |
| * recommend using this API in C or C++ progams. The D-Bus internals |
| * are hidden completely. |
| * \li <b>avahi-gobject</b>: an object-oriented C wrapper based on |
| * GLib's GObject. We recommd using this API for GNOME/Gtk programs. |
| * |
| * All three APIs are very similar, however avahi-core is the most powerful. |
| * |
| * In addition to the three APIs described above Avahi supports two |
| * compatibility libraries: |
| * |
| * \li <b>avahi-compat-libdns_sd</b>: the original Bonjour API as documented |
| * in the header file "dns_sd.h" by Apple Computer, Inc. |
| * |
| * \li <b>avahi-compat-howl</b>: the HOWL API as released with HOWL 0.9.8 by |
| * Porchdog Software. |
| * |
| * Please note that these compatibility layers are incomplete and |
| * generally a waste of resources. We strongly encourage everyone to |
| * use our native APIs for newly written programs and to port older |
| * programs to avahi-client! |
| * |
| * The native APIs (avahi-client and avahi-core) can be integrated |
| * into external event loops. We provide adapters for the following |
| * event loop implementations: |
| * |
| * \li <b>avahi-glib</b>: The GLIB main loop as used by GTk+/GNOME |
| * |
| * \li <b>avahi-qt</b>: The Qt main loop as used by Qt/KDE |
| * |
| * Finally, we provide a high-level Gtk+ GUI dialog called |
| * <b>avahi-ui</b> for user-friendly browsing for services. |
| * |
| * The doxygen-generated API documentation covers avahi-client |
| * (including its auxiliary APIs), the event loop adapters and |
| * avahi-ui. For the other APIs please consult the original |
| * documentation (for the compatibility APIs) or the header files. |
| * |
| * Please note that the doxygen-generated API documentation of the |
| * native Avahi API is not complete. A few definitions that are part |
| * of the Avahi API have been removed from this documentation, either |
| * because they are only relevant in a very few low-level applications |
| * or because they are considered obsolete. Please consult the C header |
| * files for all definitions that are part of the Avahi API. Please |
| * note that these hidden definitions are considered part of the Avahi |
| * API and will stay available in the API in the future. |
| * |
| * \section error_reporting Error Reporting |
| * |
| * Some notes on the Avahi error handling: |
| * |
| * - Error codes are negative integers and defined as AVAHI_ERR_xx |
| * - If a function returns some kind of non-negative integer value on |
| * success, a failure is indicated by returning the error code |
| * directly. |
| * - If a function returns a pointer of some kind on success, a |
| * failure is indicated by returning NULL |
| * - The last error number may be retrieved by calling |
| * avahi_client_errno() |
| * - Just like the libc errno variable the Avahi errno is NOT reset to |
| * AVAHI_OK if a function call succeeds. |
| * - You may convert a numeric error code into a human readable string |
| * using avahi_strerror() |
| * - The constructor function avahi_client_new() returns the error |
| * code in a call-by-reference argument |
| * |
| * \section event_loop Event Loop Abstraction |
| * |
| * Avahi uses a simple event loop abstraction layer. A table AvahiPoll |
| * which contains function pointers for user defined timeout and I/O |
| * condition event source implementations needs to be passed to |
| * avahi_client_new(). An adapter for this abstraction layer is |
| * available for the GLib main loop in the object AvahiGLibPoll. A |
| * simple stand-alone implementation is available under the name |
| * AvahiSimplePoll. An adpater for the Qt main loop is available from |
| * avahi_qt_poll_get(). |
| * |
| * \section good_publish How to Register Services |
| * |
| * - Subscribe to server state changes. Pass a callback function |
| * pointer to avahi_client_new(). It will be called |
| * whenever the server state changes. |
| * - Only register your services when the server is in state |
| * AVAHI_SERVER_RUNNING. If you register your services in other server |
| * states they might not be accessible since the local host name might not necessarily |
| * be established. |
| * - Remove your services when the server enters |
| * AVAHI_SERVER_COLLISION or AVAHI_SERVER_REGISTERING state. Your |
| * services may not be reachable anymore since the local host name is |
| * no longer established or is currently in the process of being |
| * established. |
| * - When registering services, use the following algorithm: |
| * - Create a new entry group (i.e. avahi_entry_group_new()) |
| * - Add your service(s)/additional RRs/subtypes (e.g. avahi_entry_group_add_service()) |
| * - Commit the entry group (i.e. avahi_entry_group_commit()) |
| * - Subscribe to entry group state changes. |
| * - If the entry group enters AVAHI_ENTRY_GROUP_COLLISION state the |
| * services of the entry group are automatically removed from the |
| * server. You may immediately add your services back to the entry |
| * group (but with new names, perhaps using |
| * avahi_alternative_service_name()) and commit again. Please do not |
| * free the entry group and create a new one. This would inhibit some |
| * traffic limiting algorithms in mDNS. |
| * - When you need to modify your services (i.e. change the TXT data |
| * or the port number), use the AVAHI_PUBLISH_UPDATE flag. Please do |
| * not free the entry group and create a new one. This would inhibit |
| * some traffic limiting algorithms in mDNS. When changing just the |
| * TXT data avahi_entry_group_update_txt() is a shortcut for |
| * AVAHI_PUBLISH_UPDATE. Please note that you cannot use |
| * AVAHI_PUBLISH_UPDATE when changing the service name! Renaming a |
| * DNS-SD service is identical to deleting and creating a new one, and |
| * that's exactly what you should do in that case. First call |
| * avahi_entry_group_reset() to remove it and then read it normally. |
| * |
| * \section good_browse How to Browse for Services |
| * |
| * - For normal applications you need to call avahi_service_browser_new() |
| * for the service type you want to browse for. Use |
| * avahi_service_resolver_new() to acquire service data for a service |
| * name. |
| * - You can use avahi_domain_browser_new() to get a list of announced |
| * browsing domains. Please note that not all domains whith services |
| * on the LAN are mandatorily announced. |
| * - There is no need to subscribe to server state changes. |
| * |
| * \section daemon_dies How to Write a Client That Can Deal with Daemon Restarts |
| * |
| * With Avahi it is possible to write client applications that can |
| * deal with Avahi daemon restarts. To accomplish that make sure to |
| * pass AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL to avahi_client_new()'s flags |
| * parameter. That way avahi_client_new() will succeed even when the |
| * daemon is not running. In that case the object will enter |
| * AVAHI_CLIENT_CONNECTING state. As soon as the daemon becomes |
| * available the object will enter one of the AVAHI_CLIENT_S_xxx |
| * states. Make sure to not create browsers or entry groups before the |
| * client object has entered one of those states. As usual you will be |
| * informed about state changes with the callback function supplied to |
| * avahi_client_new(). If the client is forced to disconnect from the |
| * server it will enter AVAHI_CLIENT_FAILURE state with |
| * avahi_client_errno() == AVAHI_ERR_DISCONNECTED. Free the |
| * AvahiClient object in that case (and all its associated objects |
| * such as entry groups and browser objects prior to that) and |
| * reconnect to the server anew - again with passing |
| * AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL to avahi_client_new(). |
| * |
| * We encourage implementing this in all software where service |
| * discovery is not an integral part of application. e.g. use it in |
| * all kinds of background daemons, but not necessarily in software |
| * like iChat compatible IM software. |
| * |
| * For now AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL cannot deal with D-Bus daemon restarts. |
| * |
| * \section domains How to Deal Properly with Browsing Domains |
| * |
| * Due to the introduction of wide-area DNS-SD the correct handling of |
| * domains becomes more important for Avahi enabled applications. All |
| * applications that offer the user a list of services discovered with |
| * Avahi should offer some kind of editable drop down box where the |
| * user can either enter his own domain or select one of those offered |
| * by AvahiDomainBrowser. The default domain to browse should be the |
| * one returned by avahi_client_get_domain_name(). The list of domains |
| * returned by AvahiDomainBrowser is assembled by the browsing domains |
| * configured in the daemon's configuration file, the domains |
| * announced inside the default domain, the domains set with the |
| * environment variable $AVAHI_BROWSE_DOMAINS (colon-seperated) on the |
| * client side and the domains set in the XDG configuration file |
| * ~/.config/avahi/browse-domains on the client side (seperated by |
| * newlines). File managers offering some kind of "Network |
| * Neighborhood" folder should show the entries of the default domain |
| * right inside that and offer subfolders for the browsing domains |
| * returned by AvahiDomainBrowser. |
