Bonjour Browser
A command line tool to browse for Bonjour/Zeroconf enabled services on your local network.
Installation
This software is written in Node.js and can be installed using the npm package manager. Ensure that you've downloaded and installed Node.js before continueing.
Install the bonjour
program globally:
npm install bonjour-browser -g
Usage
bonjour [Service Name]
Run the bonjour
command without any arguments to get a list of
available services no matter their Service Name.
$ bonjour
Intranet._http._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._http._tcp.local
Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local
Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local
Add a Service Name as the 1st argument to limit your search to only instanes of the given Servie Name:
$ bonjour ipp
Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local
Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local
Gotcha
Due to the way the DNS-SD standard is defined, services run by clients
that do not respond to _services._dns-sd._udp.<Domain>
queries will
not be discovered if you do not provide their Service Name as the 1st
argument.
