This is unfortunately not documented. Patches welcome. The avahi-python bindings contain a listing of all necessary codes. Also, the C API is mostly a 1:1 wrapper of the D-Bus API, so it should be fairly easy to extract to appropriate enums from avahi-common/defs.h and avahi-common/address.h. The interface parameter just takes a system interface number. As returned by if_nametoindex(). Use -1 if you want to register a service on all interfaces at the same time (which is what most apps probably want to do). protocol and aprptocol use the enum defined on top of address.h. (i.e. 0 for INET4, 1 for INET6, -1 for both) Hope this helps, Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net ICQ# 11060553 http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4 _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
