NUTSCAN_SCAN_AVAHI(3)
=====================

NAME
----

nutscan_scan_avahi - Scan network for NUT services via mDNS

SYNOPSIS
--------

 #include <nut-scan.h>

 nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_avahi(long usec_timeout);

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The *nutscan_scan_avahi()* function tries to detect the NUT service via mDNS,
and its associated devices. It uses the Avahi library to do so.

You MUST call linkman:nutscan_init[3] before using this function.

This function waits up to 'usec_timeout' microseconds before considering an IP
address to be unresponsive.

RETURN VALUE
------------

The *nutscan_scan_avahi()* function returns a pointer to a `nutscan_device_t`
structure containing all found devices.  It returns NULL if an error occurs, or
if no device is found.
