ngIRCd supports one aspect of Zeroconf Networking[1]: Multicast DNS (mDNS[2])
|
|
|
|
|
with DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD[3]).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use this features you can use one of two APIs:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) Apple "Bonjour" API as used by Mac OS X,
|
2006-08-03 14:37:29 +00:00
|
|
|
b) the Howl[4] Zeroconf library or the Howl compatibility layer
|
|
|
|
|
of the newer Avahi[5] library.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When calling the configure script using the "--with-zeroconf" switch the
|
2009-01-01 16:56:42 +00:00
|
|
|
available API will be autodetected and the required additional libraries will
|
2005-07-08 16:19:03 +00:00
|
|
|
be linked to the ngircd binary as required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd then registers a DNS-SD service for each port it is listening on using
|
|
|
|
|
the service type "_ircu._tcp.".
