DESCRIPTION
Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using the Avahi 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

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