Returns

  • Promise<void>

    Chrome 96+

    Promises are supported in Manifest V3 and later, but callbacks are provided for backward compatibility. You cannot use both on the same function call. The promise resolves with the same type that is passed to the callback.

Events

onServiceList

chrome.mdns.onServiceList.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Event fired to inform clients of the current complete set of known available services. Clients should only need to store the list from the most recent event. The service type that the extension is interested in discovering should be specified as the event filter with the 'serviceType' key. Not specifying an event filter will not start any discovery listeners.
