Parameters

Parameter Description Example

Name If non-empty, specifies the service name to be registered.
Most applications will not specify a name, in which case the computer name is used
If a name is specified, it must be 1-63 bytes of UTF-8 text.
If the name is longer than 63 bytes it will be automatically truncated to a legal length.

Type The service type followed by the protocol, separated by a dot (e.g. "_ftp._tcp"). The service type must be an underscore, followed by 1-14 characters, which may be letters, digits, or hyphens.
The transport protocol must be "_tcp" or "_udp". New service types should be registered at http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html. "_test._tcp"

Domain If non-empty, specifies the domain on which to advertise the service.
Most applications will not specify a domain, instead automatically registering in the default domain(s).

Host If non-empty, specifies the SRV target host name.
Most applications will not specify a host, instead automatically using the machine'sdefault host name(s).

Port The port, in network byte order, on which the service accepts connections.
Pass 0 for a "placeholder" service (i.e. a service that will not be discovered by browsing, but will cause a name conflict if another client tries to register that same name). Most clients will not use placeholder services. 1234
