|
|
.Nd name service switch module to support Apple mdnsd
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shared library implements a name service switch module to interface with Apple
|
|
mdnsd. It is enabled by adding
|
|
.Ql mdns
|
|
to the
|
|
.Ql hosts:
|
|
line of
|
|
.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 .
|
|
This will cause calls to
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname2 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr gethostbyaddr 3
|
|
to include mdnsd in their lookup path.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shared library should be installed in the system library paths, typically in
|
|
.Pa /lib .
|

|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
In
|
|
.Pa /etc/nsswitch.conf :
|
|
.Dl hosts: files mdns dns
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will cause the name service switch to lookup hostnames first using
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts ,
|
|
then mdns and finally via DNS.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
dumps status information via
|
|
.Xr syslog 3 .

.Ql PTR
|
|
reverse lookups for non-link-local domains will not function correctly.
