Instead of rapidly polling +the server to discover when information changes, long-lived queries +enable a client to indicate its interest in some set of data, and then +be notified asynchronously by the server whenever any of that data changes. +.Pp +.Nm +has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run +.Nm +manually. +.\" +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mDNS 1 +.Xr mDNSResponder 8 +.Pp +For information on Dynamic DNS Update, see RFC 2136 +"Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE)" +.Pp +For information on Dynamic DNS Update Leases, see +.Pa http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-update-leases.txt +.Pp +For information on Long-Lived Queries, see +.Pa http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-llq.txt +.\" +.Sh BUGS +.Nm +bugs are tracked in Apple Radar component "mDNSResponder". +.\" +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). |
