1. NAME

avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file

2. SYNOPSIS

\fB/etc/avahi/hosts \f1

3. DESCRIPTION

\fI/etc/avahi/hosts\f1 is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See \fBavahi.service(5)\f1 for more information. The file format is similar to the one of \fI/etc/hosts\f1: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix.
