Structure Description

Hosts can use mDNS to browse for servers on the local link. This structure supplies the configuration information for one DNS SRV (service) record that can be sent in response to browser queries from other hosts. Web, FTP and network printing servers are typical services that could advertised to mDNS clients.

Create a variable of type ttMdnsConfig for the local mDNS server configuration. Create an array of ttMdnsConfigService entries for all available servers on the local host. Set the array point in member ttMdnsConfig.mcServiceArr and the array length in ttMdnsConfig.mcServiceCount. After calling tfMdnsStart(), the user is free to discard the array or change its contents.

Members

• mcsName

  The Instance name discussed in section 4.1 of RFC 6763. This should be a user-friendly name and must be unique on the local link. For example, "Web server on Station 7A".

• mcsType

  The Service name discussed in section 4.1 of RFC 6763. This is a modified version of information from /etc/services. For example, "_http._tcp".

• mcsPort

  The TCP or UDP port on which the local server is listening. This will usually correspond with the /etc/services information (e.g. "http 80/tcp").
