NAME
     avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd - The Avahi daemon bridge to dsd

SYNOPSIS
     avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd [options]

     avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd --kill

     avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd --check


DESCRIPTION
     The daemon implements a DBUS interface which provides a rich
     object oriented interface to DBUS enabled applications which
     browse for or register for services.

     Instead of implementing Apple's ZeroConf architecture  (also
     known  as  "Rendezvous"  or "Bonjour") it makes calls to the
     DNS Service Discovery API provided by Bonjour and  so  func-
     tions as a Bonjour client.

OPTIONS
     -D  --daemonize
          Daemonize after startup. Implies --syslog

     -s  --syslog
          Log to syslog instead of STDER. Implied by --daemonize

     --debug
          Increase verbosity to debug level

     --no-drop-root
          Don't drop root  priviliges  after  startup  and  don't
          require  daemon to be started as root. We recommend not
          to use this option.

     --no-chroot
          Don't chroot(2) the daemon. This option is only  avail-
          able when compiled with chroot() support.

     --no-proctitle
          Don't change the process  name  while  running.  Unless
          this  option  is  specified  avahi  will  reflect  it's
          current state and selected host  name  in  the  process
          title.

     -k  --kill
          Kill  an   already   running   avahi-daemon-bridge-dsd.
