/**
 * @class PublicService publicservice.h DNSSD/PublicService
 * @short Represents a service to be published
 *
 * This class allows you to publish the existence of a network
 * service provided by your application.
 *
 * If you are providing a web server and want to advertise it
 * on the local network, you might do
 * @code
 * DNSSD::PublicService *service = new DNSSD::PublicService("My files", "_http._tcp", 80);
 * bool isOK = service->publish();
 * @endcode
 *
 * In this example publish() is synchronous: it will not return
 * until publishing is complete.  This is usually not too long
 * but it can freeze an application's GUI for a moment.
 * To publish asynchronously instead, do:
 * @code
 * DNSSD::PublicService *service = new DNSSD::PublicService("My files", "_http._tcp", 80);
 * connect(service, SIGNAL(published(bool)), this, SLOT(wasPublished(bool)));
 * service->publishAsync();
 * @endcode
 *
