## Installation

This software is written in Node.js and can be installed using the npm

package manager. Ensure that you've [downloaded](https://nodejs.org) and

installed Node.js before continueing.

Install the `bonjour` program globally:

```

npm install bonjour-browser -g

```

## Usage

```

bonjour [Service Name]

```

Run the `bonjour` command without any arguments to get a list of

available services no matter their Service Name.

```

$ bonjour

Intranet._http._tcp.local

HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local

HP LaserJet 4600._http._tcp.local

Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local

Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local

```

Add a Service Name as the 1st argument to limit your search to only

instanes of the given Servie Name:

```

$ bonjour ipp

Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local

Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local

HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local

```

## Gotcha

Due to the way the DNS-SD standard is defined, services run by clients

that do not respond to `_services._dns-sd._udp.` queries will

not be discovered if you do not provide their Service Name as the 1st

argument.
