I can provide a semi-working NSNetServiceBrowser #428

Open npyl opened 6 years ago

npyl commented 6 years ago

Hi! I have developed a semi-working implementation of the NSNetServiceBrowser. It uses dnssd.h which should be available on Linux for DNS Discovery and NSNetService which shouldn't (depending on Apportable's implementation)

It lacks run-loop integration (can be added easily) and error checking (only 2 errors are currently implemented). Works nearly identically to apple's version.

I developed it for a freelancer project (that I didn't get in the end) and decided to contribute it to the community. Though, because I want to let some time pass before I publish it (the person who requested the job knows I was willing to publish it) I would like anyone who is interested to provide me with a way to contact him and send him the project.

The project will require some more development and testing and I am willing to provide support and contribute in any way possible.

Hope this helps, Nick.

Sorry I'm getting to you after so long - I simply forgot about the e-mail.

You can contact me at lubos@dolezel.info. I must say I'm not 100% sure if your work can be integrated into Darling as is, mainly because Darling aims to run in an isolated container and it hasn't yet been decided how to deal with things such as mDNS.

Either way, every contribution is welcome!
