Technical Background

This website provides a good overview of the DNS-SD protocol.

Example

use astro_dnssd::DNSServiceBuilder;
use env_logger::Env;
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() {
    env_logger::from_env(Env::default().default_filter_or("trace")).init();
    println!("Registering service...");
    let service = DNSServiceBuilder::new("_http._tcp", 8080)
        .with_key_value("status".into(), "open".into())
        .register();

    {
        match service {
            Ok(service) => {
                println!("Registered... waiting 20s");
                sleep(Duration::from_secs(20));
                println!("Dropping... {:?}", service);
            }
            Err(e) => {
                println!("Error registering: {:?}", e);
            }
        }
    }
    log::info!("Drop should have happened");
    sleep(Duration::from_secs(5));
}
