- 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 or the Howl compatibility layer
- of the newer Avahi[5] library.
- When calling the configure script using the "--with-zeroconf" switch the
- available 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.".
