Request

NameType
host host_name
timeout zx/Duration
options HostNameResolutionOptions

Response

addresses vector<HostAddress>[64]

HostNameSubscriber

Defined in fuchsia.net.mdns/host_name_subscriber.fidl

Discoverable protocol for subscribing to address changes for given host names.

Added: 9

SubscribeToHostName

Gets the addresses for the specified host.

  • request host the simple name of the host.
  • request options options to be applied to the subscription.
  • request listener client end of the HostNameSubscriptionListener channel.

Request

NameType
host host_name
options HostNameSubscriptionOptions
listener HostNameSubscriptionListener

HostNameSubscriptionListener

Defined in fuchsia.net.mdns/host_name_subscriber.fidl

Client-implemented interface for subscribers. Method replies are used to throttle traffic. The service won't necessarily wait for a reply before calling another method.

Added: 9

OnAddressesChanged

Notifies the subscriber that the addresses associated with a host name have changed.

Request

NameType
addresses vector<HostAddress>[64]

Response

<EMPTY>

ProxyHostPublisher

Defined in fuchsia.net.mdns/proxy_host_publisher.fidl

Discoverable protocol for publishing on behalf of another host.

Added: 9

PublishProxyHost

Publishes a host name on behalf of a remote host and provides a ServiceInstancePublisher for publishing service instances on behalf of that host.

  • request host host name to publish.
  • request addresses addresses to publish for the host name.
  • request options options to be applied to the publication.
  • request service_instance_publisher server end of the ServiceInstancePublisher for the proxied host.

This method causes the service to publish the host name at the specified addresses. The actual host must not be present on any relevant links or there will be a conflict. If the perform_probe option is true or not supplied (true by default), a probe will occur to verify that the host name isn't otherwise published.

The proxy host created by this method persists until the ServiceInstancePublisher channel is closed.

Request

NameType

addresses vector<fuchsia.net/IpAddress>[64]
options ProxyHostPublicationOptions
service_instance_publisher server_end<ServiceInstancePublisher>

Response

NameType

Deprecated: 9

OnPublication

Provides instance information for initial announcements and query responses relating to the service instance specified in ServiceInstancePublisher.PublishServiceInstance. If the publication relates to a subtype of the service, subtype contains the subtype, otherwise it is null. If publication is null, no announcement or response is transmitted. Strings in text are transmitted in the TXT record.

Request

NameType

subtype subtype_name
source_addresses vector<fuchsia.net/IpAddress>[64]

Response

NameType

Reannounce

Initiates reannouncement of the service instance due to a change in the instance's port number or text strings. All announcements are filtered through OnPublication, which replies with the new port and text values.

Response

<EMPTY>

Publisher

Defined in fuchsia.net.mdns/mdns.fidl

Discoverable protocol for publishing service instances. Deprecated: use ServiceInstancePublisher.

PublishServiceInstance

Publishes a service instance. publication_responder is consulted via its OnPublication method for initial announcements and to answer queries. The service is published until the publication_responder channel closes. In addition to announcements and queries for the service type, all queries for subtypes are answered subject to filtering through the responder. perform_probe indicates whether a probe for a conflicting instance should be performed before publishing the instance. This value should be true unless the instance name is known to be unique.

If a service with the same service and instance names is already published, the old publication will be terminated, and the responder channel for the old publication will be closed.
