Hi,
Nathan has suggested adding an option to pmfind and/or the
__pmDiscoverServices() API to resolve the host names of the discovered
servers. Similar to the -r option of avahi-browse. I think it's a good
idea and that it should not be too hard to implement.
Similarly, while discussing the new active probing mode, Frank suggested
a global timeout option. After probing for the given amount of time, the
process would be stopped and the results obtained thus far would be
reported. I think that this is also a good idea.
Along similar lines, it might be nice if the results could be reported
as they were discovered, rather than all at the end. Then a user could
choose to terminate the process once enough results have been obtained
or even once a particular result has been obtained. This could probably
be done using a callback.
Thoughts? More ideas while we're at it?
Dave
