avahi.hosts(5) File Formats Manual avahi.hosts(5)
NAME
avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/avahi/hosts
DESCRIPTION
/etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name
to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful when
publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.ser-
vice(5) for more information.
The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP
address and the corresponding host name. The host names should be in
FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix.
