ngIRCd supports one aspect of Zeroconf Networking[1]: Multicast DNS (mDNS[2])
|
|
with DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD[3]).
|
|
|
|
To use this features you can use one of two APIs:
|
|
|
|
a) Apple "Bonjour" API as used by Mac OS X,
|
|
b) the Howl[4] Zeroconf library.
|
|
|
|
When calling the configure script using the "--with-zeroconf" switch the
|
|
avalable API will be autodetected and the required additional libraries will
|
|
be linked to the ngircd binary as required.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd then registers a DNS-SD service for each port it is listening on using
|
|
the service type "_ircu._tcp.".
