Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services and browsing domains using the Avahi daemon. The daemon is not the standard Avahi daemon but a proxy to a Bonjour daemon.

Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g. _http._tcp) to browse for on the command line, or -a to browse for all available service types. Items that appear on the network are prefixed with "+", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". -a to browse for all available service types. Items that appear on the network are prefixed with "+", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". -->

-a | --all
	Browse for all service types registered on the LAN, not just the one specified on the command line.
-D | --browse-domains
	Browse for browsing domains instead for services. avahi-browse-domains is equivalent to avahi-browse --browse-domains
-d | --domain= DOMAIN
	Browse in the specified domain. If omitted avahi-browse will browse in the default browsing domain (usually .local)
-v | --verbose
	Enable verbose mode.
-t | --terminate

-c | --cache

-r | --resolve

-k | --no-db-lookup
	Don’t lookup services types in service type database.
-b | --dump-db
	Dump the service type database (may be combined with -k)
