    <title>Description</title>

    <para>DNS-SD setup is performed by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>The main network service file must have the extension <filename>.dnssd</filename>; other
    extensions are ignored.</para>

    <para>The <filename>.dnssd</filename> files are read from the files located in the system network
    directories <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/dnssd</filename> and
    <filename>/usr/local/lib/systemd/dnssd</filename>, the volatile runtime network directory
    <filename>/run/systemd/dnssd</filename> and the local administration network directory
    <filename>/etc/systemd/dnssd</filename>. All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed in
    lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with identical filenames
    replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
    <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same name in
    <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied configuration file with a
    local file if needed.</para>

    <para>Along with the network service file <filename>foo.dnssd</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
    <filename>foo.dnssd.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix
    <literal>.conf</literal> from this directory will be parsed after the file itself is
    parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings, without having to modify the main
    configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>

    <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/dnssd</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal> directories
    can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/dnssd</filename> or <filename>/run/systemd/dnssd</filename>
    directories. Drop-in files in <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in
    <filename>/run</filename> which in turn take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename> or
    <filename>/usr/local/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these directories take precedence over
    the main network service file wherever located.</para>

    <title>[Service] Section Options</title>

      <para>The network service file contains a [Service]
      section, which specifies a discoverable network service announced in a
      local network with Multicast DNS broadcasts.</para>

[Service]
Name=%H
Type=_http._tcp
Port=80
TxtText=path=/stats/index.html t=temperature_sensor</programlisting>

      <para>This makes the http server running on the host discoverable in the local network
      given MulticastDNS is enabled on the network interface.</para>

      <para>Now the utility <literal>resolvectl</literal> should be able to resolve the
      service to the host's name:</para>

-- Information acquired via protocol mDNS/IPv6 in 4.0ms.
-- Data is authenticated: yes</programlisting>

      <para><literal>Avahi</literal> running on a different host in the same local network should see the service as well:</para>
