Please note that this function is called for the first time from within the avahi_client_new() context! Thus, in the callback you should not make use of global variables that are initialized only after your call to avahi_client_new(). A common mistake is to store the AvahiClient pointer returned by avahi_client_new() in a global variable and assume that this global variable already contains the valid pointer when the callback is called for the first time. A work-around for this is to always use the AvahiClient pointer passed to the callback function instead of the global pointer. */, void *userdata /**< Some arbitrary user data pointer that will be passed to the callback function */, int *error /**< If creation of the client fails, this integer will contain the error cause.
