try on your machine

The command "avahi-browse --all --domain=${domain}" is used to discover and browse services available on a local network using Avahi, which is a service discovery protocol. Here's what each part of the command means: - "avahi-browse": This is the command itself that is used to interact with the Avahi service discovery system. - "--all": This option tells Avahi to browse for all available services on the network. - "--domain=${domain}": This option specifies the domain to search for services. The value is provided through the variable ${domain}, which needs to be replaced with an actual domain name or IP address. By running this command, Avahi will search for all services available on the specified domain and display the details such as service name, address, port, and other relevant information.
