Detailed Description

Simple wrapper for ZeroConf key/value pairs.

The servus class allows simple announcement and discovery of key/value pairs using ZeroConf networking. The same instance can be used to announce and/or to browse a ZeroConf service. If the Servus library is compiled without zeroconf support (

isAvailable()), this class does not do anything useful.

1.1

SERVUS_API void servus::Servus::removeListener

(

Listener *

listener

)

Remove a listener to stop invokation on its supported callbacks.

Parameters

listener

the listener to be removed, must not be nullptr

Version

1.2

SERVUS_API void servus::Servus::set	(	const std::string &	key,
		const std::string &	value
	)

Set a key/value pair to be announced.

Keys should be at most eight characters, and values are truncated to 255 characters. The total length of all keys and values cannot exceed 65535 characters. Setting a value on an announced service causes an update which needs some time to propagate after this function returns, that is, calling discover() immediately afterwards will very likely not contain the new key/value pair.

Version

1.1

SERVUS_API void servus::Servus::withdraw

(

)

Stop announcing the registered key/value pairs.

Version

1.1
