.SH DESCRIPTION
The daemon implements a DBUS interface which provides a rich object oriented interface to DBUS enabled applications which browse for or register for services.

Instead of implementing Apple's ZeroConf architecture (also known as "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour") it makes calls to the DNS Service Discovery API provided by Bonjour and so functions as a Bonjour client.
