When calling in service registration mode, specify a DNS-SD service name (e.g. "Lennart's Files"), a
service type (e.g. _http._tcp) and an IP port number for the service, optionally followed by any number
of TXT record strings on the command line. When calling in address/host name registration mode specify a
fully qualified host name and an address (IPv4 or IPv6).
-s|--service
Register a service. avahi-publish-service is equivalent to avahi-publish -s.
-a|--address
Register an address/host name mapping. avahi-publish-address is equivalent to avahi-publish -a.
-v|--verbose
Enable verbose mode.
-H|--host=HOSTNAME
Specify a host name for this service, in case it doesn't reside on the local host. This host name
needs to be fully qualified and resolvable using mDNS or unicast DNS.
-d|--domain=DOMAIN
Publish the service in the specified domain. If omitted the Avahi daemon will publish it in its
default domain (usually .local).
--subtype=SUBTYPE
Register the service with an additional subtype in addition to the main type. DNS-SD subtypes have
the form _anon._sub._ftp._tcp, where _anon is the identifier of the subtype and _ftp._tcp is the
main type. You may pass this option multiple times to register the service with multiple subtypes.
-f|--no-fail
Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects,
try to reconnect.
-h|--help
Show help
-V|--version
Show version information.
