SYNOPSIS
     avahi-browse [options] service-type

DESCRIPTION
     Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains
     using the Avahi daemon. The daemon is not the standard Avahi
     daemon but a proxy to a Bonjour daemon.

OPTIONS
     Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g.  http.tcp)  to  browse
     for  on  the command line, or -a to browse for all available
     service types. Items that appear on the network are prefixed
     with  "]", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". If --
     resolve is passed items that are resolved are prefixed  with
     "=".

     -a  --all
          Browse for all service types registered on the LAN, not
          just the one specified on the command line.

     -D  --browse-domains
          Browse  for  browsing  domains  instead  for  services.
          avahi-browse-domains  is  equivalent to avahi-browse --
          browse-domains

     -d  --domain= DOMAIN
          Browse in the specified domain. If omitted avahi-browse
          will  browse  in  the  default browsing domain (usually
          .local)

     -v  --verbose
          Enable verbose mode.

     -t  --terminate
          Terminate after dumping a more or less complete list.

     -c  --cache
          Terminate after dumping all entries  available  in  the
          cache.
