Apple's developer documentation provides lots of information about Bonjour in its <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/NetServices/Articles/about.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002458-SW1">Bonjour overview</a>. </p> <p> If you are writing an application that wants to discover services on the network, use DNSSD.ServiceBrowser. You can also find available service types using ServiceTypeBrowser. </p> <p> If you want to announce the availability of a service provided by your application, use DNSSD.PublicService. </p> <p> DNSSD.DomainBrowser allows you to find domains (other than the local one) recommended for browsing or publishing to. </p> <p> Note that DNSSD.ServiceBrowser.isAvailable() provides information about the availability of the services provided by this library generally, not just for browsing services. </p> <p> <dl compact><dt><b>Author(s):</b></dt><dd> Jakub Stachowski </dd></dl> </p> <p> <dl compact><dt><b>Maintainer(s):</b></dt><dd> Jakub Stachowski </dd></dl> </p> <p> <dl compact><dt><b>License(s):</b></dt><dd> <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html#SEC1">LGPLv2</a> </dd></dl> </p><h2>Namespaces</h2> <table width="95%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr><td><a name="letter_D"> D </a></td><td><a name="letter_G"> G </a></td><td></td></tr> <tr><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a> </td><td><a class="el" href="global.html"><i>global</i></a> </td><td></td></tr> </table> <h2>Class Index</h2> <table width="95%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr><td><a name="letter_D"> D </a></td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.PublicService.html">PublicService</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.ServiceBase.html">ServiceBase</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td></tr> <tr><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.DomainBrowser.html">DomainBrowser</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td><td><a name="letter_R"> R </a></td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.ServiceBrowser.html">ServiceBrowser</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td></tr> <tr><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.DomainModel.html">DomainModel</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.RemoteService.html">RemoteService</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.ServiceModel.html">ServiceModel</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td></tr> <tr><td><a name="letter_P"> P </a></td><td><a name="letter_S"> S </a></td><td><a class="el" href="DNSSD.ServiceTypeBrowser.html">ServiceTypeBrowser</a> (<a class="el" href="DNSSD.html">DNSSD</a>) </td></tr> </table> </div> </div> </div> <div id="left"> <div class="menu_box"> <div class="nav_list"> <ul> <li><a href="../allclasses.html">Full Index</a></li> </ul> </div> <a name="cp-menu" /><div class="menutitle"><div> <h2 id="cp-menu-project">Modules</h2> </div></div> <div class="nav_list"> <ul><li><a href="../akonadi/index.html">akonadi</a></li> <li><a href="../dnssd/index.html">dnssd</a></li> <li><a href="../kdecore/index.html">kdecore</a></li> <li><a href="../kdeui/index.html">kdeui</a></li> <li><a href="../khtml/index.html">khtml</a></li> <li><a href="../kio/index.html">kio</a></li> <li><a href="../knewstuff/index.html">knewstuff</a></li> <li><a href="../kparts/index.html">kparts</a></li> <li><a href="../kutils/index.html">kutils</a></li> <li><a href="../nepomuk/index.html">nepomuk</a></li> <li><a href="../phonon/index.html">phonon</a></li> <li><a href="../plasma/index.html">plasma</a></li> <li><a href="../polkitqt/index.html">polkitqt</a></li> <li><a href="../solid/index.html">solid</a></li> <li><a href="../soprano/index.html">soprano</a></li> </ul></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="clearer"/> </div> <div id="end_body"></div> </div> <div id="footer"><div id="footer_text"> This documentation is maintained by <a href="mailto:simon@simonzone.com">Simon Edwards</a>.<br /> KDE<sup>®</sup> and <a href="../images/kde_gear_black.png">the K Desktop Environment<sup>®</sup> logo</a> are registered trademarks of <a href="http://ev.kde.org/" title="Homepage of the KDE non-profit Organization">KDE e.V.</a> | <a href="http://www.kde.org/contact/impressum.php">Legal</a> </div></div> </body> </html>
