DESCRIPTION
     The dns-sd command is a network diagnostic tool, much like ping(8) or traceroute(8).  However, unlike
     those tools, most of its functionality is not implemented in the dns-sd executable itself, but in
     library code that is available to any application.  The library API that dns-sd uses is documented in
     /usr/include/dns_sd.h.  The dns-sd command replaces the older mDNS command.

     The dns-sd command is primarily intended for interactive use.  Because its command-line arguments and
     output format are subject to change, invoking it from a shell script will generally be fragile. Addi-tionally, Additionally,
     tionally, the asynchronous nature of DNS Service Discovery does not lend itself easily to script-ori-ented script-oriented
     ented programming. For example, calls like "browse" never complete; the action of performing a "browse"
     sets in motion machinery to notify the client whenever instances of that service type appear or disap-pear disappear
     pear from the network. These notifications continue to be delivered indefinitely, for minutes, hours,
     or even days, as services come and go, until the client explicitly terminates the call. This style of
     asynchronous interaction works best with applications that are either multi-threaded, or use a main
     event-handling loop to receive keystrokes, network data, and other asynchronous event notifications as
     they happen.
     If you wish to perform DNS Service Discovery operations from a scripting language, then the best way to
     do this is not to execute the dns-sd command and then attempt to decipher the textual output, but
     instead to directly call the DNS-SD APIs using a binding for your chosen language.
     For example, if you are programming in Ruby, then you can directly call DNS-SD APIs using the dnssd
     package documented at <http://rubyforge.org/projects/dnssd/>.
     Similar bindings for other languages are also in development.

     dns-sd -E
        return a list of domains recommended for registering(advertising) services.

     dns-sd -F
        return a list of domains recommended for browsing services.

        Normally, on your home network, the only domain you are likely to see is "local".  However if your
        network administrator has created Domain Enumeration records, then you may also see other recom-mended recommended
        mended domains for registering and browsing.

     dns-sd -R name type domain port [key=value ...]
        register (advertise) a service in the specified domain with the given name and type as listening (on
        the current machine) on port.

        name can be arbitrary unicode text, containing any legal unicode characters (including dots, spaces,
        slashes, colons, etc. without restriction), up to 63 UTF-8 bytes long.  type must be of the form
        "_app-proto._tcp" or "_app-proto._udp", where "app-proto" is an application protocol name registered
        at http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml.

        domain is the domain in which to register the service.  In current implementations, only the local
        multicast domain "local" is supported. In the future, registering will be supported in any arbitrary
        domain that has a working DNS Update server [RFC 2136]. The domain "." is a synonym for "pick a sen-sible sensible
        sible default" which today means "local".

        port is a number from 0 to 65535, and is the TCP or UDP port number upon which the service is lis-tening. listening.
        tening.

        Additional attributes of the service may optionally be described by key/value pairs, which are
        stored in the advertised service's DNS TXT record. Allowable keys and values are listed with the
        service registration at
        http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml.

     dns-sd -B type domain
        browse for instances of service type in domain.

        For valid types see
        http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml.  as
        described above. Omitting the domain or using "." means "pick a sensible default."

     dns-sd -L name type domain
        look up and display the information necessary to contact and use the named service: the hostname of
        the machine where that service is available, the port number on which the service is listening, and
        (if present) TXT record attributes describing properties of the service.

        Note that in a typical application, browsing may only happen rarely, while lookup (or "resolving")
        happens every time the service is used. For example, a user browses the network to pick a default
        printer fairly rarely, but once a default printer has been picked, that named service is resolved to
        its current IP address and port number every time the user presses Cmd-P to print.

     dns-sd -P name type domain port host IP [key=value ...]
        create a proxy advertisement for a service running on(offered by) some other machine.  The two new
        options are Host, a name for the device and IP, the address of it.

        The service for which you create a proxy advertisement does not necessarily have to be on your local
        network.  You can set up a local proxy for a website on the Internet.

     dns-sd -q name rrtype rrclass
        look up any DNS name, resource record type, and resource record class, not necessarily DNS-SD names
        and record types.  If rrtype is not specified, it queries for the IPv4 address of the name, if
        rrclass is not specified, IN class is assumed. If the name is not a fully qualified domain name,
        then search domains may be appended.

     dns-sd -Z type domain
        browse for service instances and display output in zone file format.

     dns-sd -G v4/v6/v4v6 name
        look up the IP address information of the name.  If v4 is specified, the IPv4 address of the name is
        looked up, if v6 is specified the IPv6 address is looked up. If v4v6 is specified both the IPv4 and
        IPv6 address is looked up. If the name is not a fully qualified domain name, then search domains may
        be appended.

     dns-sd -V
        return the version of the currently running daemon/system service.

EXAMPLES
     To advertise the existence of LPR printing service on port 515 on this machine, such that it will be
     discovered by the Mac OS X printing software and other DNS-SD compatible printing clients, use:

           dns-sd -R "My Test" _printer._tcp. . 515 pdl=application/postscript

     For this registration to be useful, you need to actually have LPR service available on port 515. Adver-tising Advertising
     tising a service that does not exist is not very useful, and will be confusing and annoying to other
     people on the network.

     Similarly, to advertise a web page being served by an HTTP server on port 80 on this machine, such that
     it will show up in the Bonjour list in Safari and other DNS-SD compatible Web clients, use:

           dns-sd -R "My Test" _http._tcp . 80 path=/path-to-page.html

     To find the advertised web pages on the local network (the same list that Safari shows), use:

           dns-sd -B _http._tcp

     While that command is running, in another window, try the dns-sd -R example given above to advertise a
     web page, and you should see the "Add" event reported to the dns-sd -B window. Now press Ctrl-C in the
     dns-sd -R window and you should see the "Remove" event reported to the dns-sd -B window.

     In the example below, the www.apple.com web page is advertised as a service called "apple", running on
     a target host called apple.local, which resolves to 17.149.160.49.

           dns-sd -P apple _http._tcp "" 80 apple.local 17.149.160.49

     The Bonjour menu in the Safari web browser will now show "apple".  The same IP address can be reached
     by entering apple.local in the web browser.  In either case, the request will be resolved to the IP
     address and browser will show contents associated with www.apple.com.

     If a client wants to be notified of changes in server state, it can initiate a query for the service's
     particular record and leave it running.  For example, to monitor the status of an iChat user you can
     use:

           dns-sd -q someone@ex1._presence._tcp.local txt

     Everytime status of that user(someone) changes, you will see a new TXT record result reported.

     You can also query for a unicast name like www.apple.com and monitor its status.

           dns-sd -q www.apple.com
