Avahi Bindings for Programming Languages and Run-Time Systems

Avahi itself comes with bindings for various languages and run-time systems:

• The C API Specifications (includes event loop adapters for GLib, Qt and can be used from C++ programs)
• The Avahi C# API Specifications
• All languages that have D-Bus support can access the Avahi daemon. For Python we provide a module which contains a couple of definitions which are necessary to develop D-Bus clients for Avahi.
  • See PythonPublishExample for a relatively full service publisher using dbus-python.
  • See PythonBrowseExample for a simple service browser using dbus-python

Additional bindings are available elsewhere:

• Guile-Avahi provides GNU Guile Scheme bindings for the Avahi client library. It comes with a detailed manual and API reference.

See also ProgrammingDocs for information about the D-BUS interface to the Avahi daemon.
