Summary : glibc plugin for .local name resolution
URL : https://github.com/lathiat/nss-mdns
License : LGPLv2+
Description : nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
: the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS
: (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka Apple Bonjour), effectively allowing
: name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.
:
: nss-mdns provides client functionality only, which means that you have to
: run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to register
: the local host name via mDNS (e.g. Avahi).
