# mDNS-Browser
This application allows you to browse services using mDNS. For an alternative running in a terminal, check out [mDNS-TUI-Browser](https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-tui-browser)

### Startup
### Browsing for \_ssh.\_tcp
### Details of a resolved service having many IPs
### Details of a resolved service having a subtype and TXT records

## Building
For instructions on building the application, checkout the document [BUILDING](BUILDING.md).
## Command line options
```console
Usage: mdns-browser [OPTIONS]
Options:
-l, --log-level [default: info] [possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error]
-D, --enable-devtools Enable devtools at startup
-f, --log-to-file Enable logging to file
-d, --disable-dmabuf-renderer Disable dmabuf renderer, useful when having rendering issues
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
### log-to-file
If enabled, a log file will be created in a platform-specific location:
- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser\logs`
- Linux: `$XDG_DATA_HOME/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser/logs` or `$HOME/.local/share/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser/logs`
- macOS: `~/Library/Logs/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser`
The log file will be named `mdns-browser.log` and will contain log messages with a log-level having at least a level specified by the `log-level` option.
### enable-devtools
If enabled, the devtools will be open at startup
This option has been added with release [v0.19.0](https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-browser/releases/tag/mdns-browser-v0.19.0)
### disable-dmabuf-renderer (Linux only)
This option disables the dmabuf renderer, which is used to improve performance on Linux.
If you experience rendering issues, you can try disabling this option to see if it resolves the problem.
This option has been added with release [v0.12.0](https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-browser/releases/tag/mdns-browser-v0.12.0)
## Where to find the executables?
### GitHub Releases
You can download the latest version of the application from the [GitHub Release page](https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-browser/releases/latest)
### Winget installation
To install via Winget, run the following command:
```console
winget install mdns-browser
```
### Arch Linux (AUR)
To install on Arch Linux using the AUR, you can use an AUR helper like yay or paru:
With `yay`:
```console
yay -S mdns-browser
```
Alternatively using the -bin package:
```console
yay -S mdns-browser-bin
```
With `paru`:
```console
paru -S mdns-browser
```
Alternatively using the -bin package:
```console
paru -S mdns-browser-bin
```
### Void Linux
To install on Void Linux with arch `x86_64`, you can add the GitHub release as a repository and install the package using `xbps-install`:
```console
# Add the repository
echo "repository=https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-browser/releases/latest/download" | sudo tee /etc/xbps.d/mdns-browser-repo.conf
# Install the package
sudo xbps-install -S mdns-browser
```
During installation, you will be prompted to accept a public key signed by `hrzlgnm@users.noreply.github.com`. The repository and package are signed with a key having the fingerprint: `64:6d:b9:23:3d:ad:9d:f1:b0:fe:64:8e:da:46:57:d3`.
## Auditable binaries
The binaries built for desktop targets are now all built in auditable mode using [cargo-auditable](https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable?tab=readme-ov-file#cargo-auditable).
For information on how to audit the binaries, see [Usage](https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable?tab=readme-ov-file#usage)
Since release v0.8.x
## Attested build artifacts
The build artifacts are now attested. Attestations information about the binaries is available [here](https://github.com/hrzlgnm/mdns-browser/attestations). For more information and details on how to verify those, see [Verifying artifact attestations with the GitHub CLI](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/using-artifact-attestations/using-artifact-attestations-to-establish-provenance-for-builds#verifying-artifact-attestations-with-the-github-cli)
Since release v0.8.x
