The daemon registers local IP addresses and static services using mDNS\/DNS-SD and provides two IPC APIs for local programs to make use of the mDNS record cache the avahi-daemon maintains. First there is the so called &#8220;simple protocol&#8221; 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 D-Bus interface which provides a rich object oriented interface to D-Bus enabled applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Upon startup avahi-daemon interprets its configuration file <i>\/etc\/avahi\/avahi-daemon.conf<\/i> and reads XML fragments from <i>\/etc\/avahi\/services\/*.service<\/i> which may define static DNS-SD services. If you enable <b>publish-resolv-conf-dns-servers<\/b> in <i>avahi-daemon.conf<\/i> the file <i>\/etc\/resolv.conf<\/i> will be read, too.<\/p>\n<h2>OPTIONS <a name=\"OPTIONS\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\"><b>-f | &#8211;file=<\/b> <i>FILE<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">Specify the configuration file to read.
