avahi.hosts(5) File Formats Manual avahi.hosts(5) NAME avahi.hosts - avahi‐daemon static host name file SYNOPSIS /etc/avahi/hosts DESCRIPTION /etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS‐SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.service(5) for more information. The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix.
