DESCRIPTION

      avahi-dnsconfd connects to a running avahi-daemon and runs the script /etc/avahi/dnsconfd.action for each unicast
      DNS server that is announced on the local LAN. This is useful for configuring unicast DNS servers in a  DHCP-like
      fashion with mDNS.

             Kill an already running avahi-dnsconfd. (equivalent to sending a SIGTERM)
 
      -r | --refresh
             Tell an already running avahi-dnsconfd to refresh the DNS server data. (equivalent to sending a SIGHUP)
 
      -c | --check
             Return 0 as return code when avahi-dnsconfd is already running.
 
      -h | --help
