operating systems have their own set of tools for mDNS-SD and mdnsd may
not even have a place there.

mdnsd uses the system routing table, specifically the default (unicast)
route, to determine the default interface to use. To run on systems
without a default route, e.g. a link-local only system, use `-i IFACE`.
Starting mdnsd early in the boot process means the system may not yet
have acquired an IP address, or the interface itself may not even exist
yet, in which case `-p` may likely also help.
mdnsd currently only runs on one system interface. To figure out which
to use, the system routing table is queried, specifically the default
route. To run on systems without a default route, e.g. a link-local
only system, use `-i IFACE`. Starting mdnsd early in the boot process
means the system may not yet have acquired an IP address, or the
interface itself may not even exist yet, in which case `-p` may likely
also help.

See the file [API.md][] for pointers on how to use the mDNS library.
