Avahi's embeddable mDNS/DNS-SD library
Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery.
It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts
running on a local network with no specific configuration. For
example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to
print to, files to look at and people to talk to.
.
This package contains the library for Avahi's embeddable mDNS/DNS-SD stack.
This can be used by embedded applications to integrate mDNS/DNS-SD
functionality into their applications.
.
You should not however use this library for non-embedded applications, you
should use libavahi-client which interacts with the avahi daemon.
