NAME

       avahi-dnsconfd - Unicast DNS server from mDNS/DNS-SD configuration
       daemon


SYNOPSIS

       avahi-dnsconfd [options]

       avahi-dnsconfd --kill

       avahi-dnsconfd --refresh

       avahi-dnsconfd --check


DESCRIPTION

       avahi-dnsconfd connects to a running avahi-daemon and runs the script
       /etc/avahi/avahi-dnsconfd.action for each unicast DNS server that is
       announced on the local LAN. This is useful for configuring unicast DNS
       servers in a DHCP-like fashion with mDNS.


OPTIONS

       -D | --daemonize
              Daemonize after startup and redirect log messages to syslog.

       -s | --syslog
              Log to syslog instead of STDERR. Implied by --daemonize.

       -k | --kill
              Kill an already running avahi-dnsconfd. (equivalent to sending a
              SIGTERM)

       -r | --refresh
              Tell an already running avahi-dnsconfd to refresh the DNS server
              data. (equivalent to sending a SIGHUP)

       -c | --check
              Return 0 as return code when avahi-dnsconfd is already running.

       -h | --help
              Show help

       -v | --version
              Show version information

       is found or removed.


SIGNALS

       passing --kill to avahi-daemon.
