24 * @short Describes a service
25 *
26 * This class is used to describe a service. The service
27 * can be published by the current application (in which
28 * case it is probably a PublicService) or by
29 * another application, either on the current machine or
30 * a remote machine, in which case it is probably a
31 * RemoteService returned by ServiceBrowser.
32 *
33 * You should not normally need to create a ServiceBase
34 * object yourself.

124 *
125 * You can check for the data that might be associated with a
126 * particular service on the <a
127 * href="http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html">service types list</a>.
128 * If a @c key=value pair is given, this will appear with the @c value
129 * in a QByteArray indexed by the @c key. If the data is on its own
130 * (does not have an @c = in it), it will be used to index an empty
131 * QByteArray, and can be checked for with QMap::contains().
132 *
133 * For example, if you are accessing the _ipp._tcp service, you might
134 * do something like
135 * @code
136 * QString printerModel = "unknown";

138 * printQueue = QString::fromUtf8(service->textData()["ty"].constData());

140 * @endcode
141 * since the TXT data of the IPP service may contain data like
142 * "ty=Apple LaserWriter Pro 630". Note that you actually have to be
143 * a bit more clever than this, since the key should usually be case
144 * insensitive.
