nutscan_scan_avahi3
Scan network for nut services via mdns

nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_avahi(useconds_t usec_timeout);
Overview
The nutscan_scan_avahi() function tries to detect the NUT service via mDNS, and its associated devices. It uses the Avahi library to do so.
You MUST call nutscan_init(3) before using this function.
This function can query perspective IP addresses using NUT protocol, and in this case it waits up to usec_timeout microseconds before considering an IP address to be unresponsive.
Return value
The nutscan_scan_avahi() function returns a pointer to a nutscan_device_t structure containing all found devices.
It returns NULL if an error occurs, or if no device is found.
