First + there is the so called "simple protocol" which is used + exclusively by avahi-dnsconfd (a daemon which configures unicast + DNS servers using server info published via mDNS) and nss-mdns + (a libc NSS plugin, providing name resolution via mDNS). Finally + there is the DBUS interface which provides a rich object + oriented interface to DBUS enabled applications.</p> + + <p>Upon startup avahi-daemon interpretes its configuration file + @pkgsysconfdir@/avahi-daemon.conf and reads XML fragments from + @servicedir@/*.service which may define static DNS-SD + services.</p> + </description> + + <options> + + <option> + <p><opt>-f | --file=</opt> <arg>FILE</arg></p> + <optdesc><p>Specify the configuration file to read.
