Description : nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of

: (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).
