Hello, I'm coding a C++ library that, among other things, needs to:
- Search for a specific service in a network using AVAHI - Publish itself as a service using AVAHI I've been searching for existent options. I've found that the creators of POCO C++ offer a DNS-SD library integrated with POCO C++ [1]. That would work, because I'm actually using POCO C++, but it's a commercial library, and I can't afford it. Apart from that, avahi-daemon offers a client interface that allows browsing services and publishing new ones. It also sounds good, but I need my code to be portable, and work in major Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows. AFAIK, this solution would only cover Linux (where avahi-daemon is available). I guess as partial solution, I could just send a properly formatted message via socket and process the raw response. That way, I could search for services published using AVAHI. But I think that's ugly and unmaintainable. So, is there any good-enough solution for this without buying a software? I know this can be done using Python [2], but I need to do it in C++. Many thanks in advance [1] http://www.appinf.com/docs/poco/00200-DNSSDTutorialAndUserGuide.html [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430245/how-to-develop-an-avahi- client-server _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list avahi@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
