## Detailed Description

This class is used to carry information about service. Describes any type of service.

It can be remote, local, metaservice or domain. Metaservice has only type and domain - it means that services of given type are present in given domain.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DNSSD::ServiceBase::ServiceBase | ( | const QString & | name = `QString::null`,
|  | const QString & | type = `QString::null`,
|  | const QString & | domain = `QString::null`,
|  | const QString & | host = `QString::null`,
|  | unsigned short | port = `0`
| ) |

Parameters:

  | name | Service name - empty for metaservices
  | type | Service type - empty for domains

Definition at line 27 of file servicebase.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

const QString & DNSSD::ServiceBase::serviceName | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns name of service. This is empty for metaservices Definition at line 69 of file servicebase.cpp.

const QString & DNSSD::ServiceBase::type | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns type of service. It always in format _sometype._udp or _sometype._tcp and it is empty for domains. Definition at line 74 of file servicebase.cpp.

const QString & DNSSD::ServiceBase::domain | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns domain that given service belongs to. It is "local." for link-local services. Definition at line 79 of file servicebase.cpp.

const QString & DNSSD::ServiceBase::hostName | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns hostname. It is only valid for local and resolved remote services. Definition at line 84 of file servicebase.cpp.

unsigned short DNSSD::ServiceBase::port | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns port number. It is only valid for local and resolved remote services. Definition at line 89 of file servicebase.cpp.

const QMap< QString, QString > & DNSSD::ServiceBase::textData | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns read only map of text properties. It is only valid for local and resolved remote services. Definition at line 93 of file servicebase.cpp. References m_textData.

QString DNSSD::ServiceBase::encode | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

| Encode service name, type and domain into string that can be used as DNS-SD PTR label. Definition at line 35 of file servicebase.cpp. References QString::replace().

void DNSSD::ServiceBase::decode | ( | const QString & | name | ) | `[protected]`

| Decode PTR label returned by DNS resolver into service name, type and domain. It also handles special cases - metaservices and domains. Definition at line 45 of file servicebase.cpp. References QString::find(), QString::left(), QString::mid(), QString::replace(), and QString::section().

## Member Data Documentation

QMap<QString,QString> DNSSD::ServiceBase::m_textData `[protected]`
