[avahi] AXIS Cameras, Again

[Mark Gollahon]

Hello,

I've read the AXIS camera thread posted on this forum from over a year 
ago and I would like some help on getting my code working with Avahi.

Some background - I've written my own AXIS camera "finder" utility using 
Apple's daemon since I needed it on Windows first (no Avahi on Windows 
yet).  I've subsequently ported it to Linux.  Now I need it to work with 
Avahi since the newer distros are including Avahi by default.

Furthermore, this utility sends the resulting list of cameras and IP 
addresses to a recipient that is *not* link-local, so the routeable IP 
addresses are really what I am after.  However, I can't figure out how 
to get Avahi to report all addresses it has so that I can do the 
filtering - I've already got the filtering in place.

I've noticed that PING can get the routeable addresses through NSS, but 
my utility cannot (it uses getaddrinfo() to get all addresses instead of 
gethostbyname() like PING does).

Can someone tell me what parameters I need to use with getaddrinfo() to 
get the routeable addresses through Avahi?

Thank you!
