tinysvcmdns

tinysvcmdns is a tiny MDNS responder implementation for publishing services.

This implementation is only concerned with publishing services, without a system-wide daemon like Bonjour or Avahi. Its other goal is to be extremely small, embeddable, and have no external dependencies.

It only answers queries related to its own hostname (the A record), the service PTRs, and the "_services.dns-sd._udp.local" name, which advertises all services on a particular host.

Services consist of a single SRV and TXT record.

Decoding of MDNS packets is only done to retrieve the questions and answer RRs. The purpose for decoding answer RRs is to make sure the service PTR is not sent out if it is already included in the answer RRs.

It also only utilizes multicast packets, so no "QU" queries are accepted.

There is no name collision detection, so this means no queries are generated before publishing the services. However compliant responders will avoid using our names, since the implementation will respond to queries that match our name.

TODO

better, more stable & complete API
name collision detection

FILES

mdns.c - provides data structures, parsing & encoding of MDNS packets
mdnsd.c - implements the server socket, communication and thread
testmdnsd.c - an example that creates an instance until terminated
