.Nm

.\"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
(also known as
|
||||
.Nm mdnsd
|
||||
on some systems)
|
||||
is a daemon invoked at boot time to implement Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery. On
|
||||
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard),
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is also the system-wide Unicast DNS Resolver.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
listens on UDP port 5353 for Multicast DNS Query packets.
|
||||
When it receives a query for which it knows an answer,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
issues the appropriate Multicast DNS Reply packet.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
also performs Unicast and Multicast DNS Queries on behalf of client processes, and
|
||||
maintains a cache of the replies.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
manually.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Ss LOGGING
|
||||
There are several methods with which to examine
|
||||
.Nm Ns 's internal state for debugging and diagnostic purposes. The syslog(1)
|
||||
logging levels map as follows:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl Error - Error messages
|
||||
.Dl Warning - Client-initiated operations
|
||||
.Dl Notice - Sleep proxy operations
|
||||
.Dl Info - Informational messages
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
By default, only log level Error is logged.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A SIGUSR1 signal toggles additional logging, with Warning and Notice
|
||||
enabled by default:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl % sudo killall -USR1 mDNSResponder
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Once this logging is enabled, users can additionally use syslog(1)
|
||||
to change the log filter for the process. For example, to enable log levels Emergency - Debug:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl % sudo syslog -c mDNSResponder -d
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A SIGUSR2 signal toggles packet logging:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl % sudo killall -USR2 mDNSResponder
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A SIGINFO signal will dump a snapshot summary of the internal state to
|
||||
.Pa /var/log/system.log Ns :
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl % sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar).
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Also available from the Darwin open source repository
|
||||
(though not officially supported by Apple) are
|
||||
