	<synopsis>
      <cmd>@servicedir@/*.service</cmd>
	</synopsis>
	
    <description> <p><file>@servicedir@/*.service</file> are XML
      fragments containing static DNS-SD service data. Every service
      file can contain multiple service definitions which share the
      same name. This is useful for publishing service data for
      services which implement multiple protocols. (i.e. a printer
      implementing _ipp._tcp and _printer.tcp)</p> </description>
	
	<section name="XML Tags">
      
      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;service-group&gt;</opt> The document tag of avahi
        service files. Should contain one <opt>&lt;name&gt;</opt> and one or more
        <opt>&lt;service&gt;</opt> elements.</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;name replace-wildcards="yes|no"&gt;</opt> The
        service name. If <opt>replace-wildcards</opt> is "yes", any
        occurence of the string "%h" will be replaced by the local
        host name. This can be used for service names like "Remote
        Terminal on %h". If <opt>replace-wildcards</opt> is not
        specified, defaults to "no".</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;service protocol="ipv4|ipv6|any"&gt;</opt>
        Contains the service information for exactly one service
        type. Should contain one <opt>&lt;type&gt;</opt> and one
        <opt>&lt;port&gt;</opt> element. Optionally it may contain one
        <opt>&lt;domain-name&gt;</opt>, one
        <opt>&lt;host-name&gt;</opt> and multiple
        <opt>&lt;txt-record&gt;</opt> elements. The attribute
        <opt>protocol</opt> specifies the protocol to
        advertise the service on. If <opt>any</opt> is used (which is
        the default), the service will be advertised on both IPv4 and
        IPv6.</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;type&gt;</opt> Contains the DNS-SD service type for this service. e.g. "_http._tcp".</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;domain-name&gt;</opt> The domain name this service
        should be registered. If omited defaults to the default domain
        of the avahi daemon. (probably .local)</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;host-name&gt;</opt> The host name of the host that
        provides this service. This should be a mDNS resolvable host
        name. Please note that you need to specify a fully-qualified
        domain name (FQDN) here, i.e. .local is not appended! The host
        name needs not to be part of the domain specified in
        <opt>&lt;domain-name&gt;</opt>.</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;port&gt;</opt> The IP port number the service listens on.</p>
      </option>

      <option>
        <p><opt>&lt;txt-record&gt;</opt> DNS-SD TXT record data.</p>
      </option>
