21 * @class PublicService publicservice.h KDNSSD/PublicService
22 * @short Represents a service to be published
23 *
24 * This class allows you to publish the existence of a network
25 * service provided by your application.
26 *
27 * If you are providing a web server and want to advertise it
28 * on the local network, you might do
29 * @code
30 * KDNSSD::PublicService *service = new KDNSSD::PublicService("My files", "_http._tcp", 80);
31 * bool isOK = service->publish();
32 * @endcode
33 *
34 * In this example publish() is synchronous: it will not return
35 * until publishing is complete. This is usually not too long
36 * but it can freeze an application's GUI for a moment.
37 * To publish asynchronously instead, do:
38 * @code
39 * KDNSSD::PublicService *service = new KDNSSD::PublicService("My files", "_http._tcp", 80);
40 * connect(service, SIGNAL(published(bool)), this, SLOT(wasPublished(bool)));
41 * service->publishAsync();
42 * @endcode
43 *
