Usage

bonjour [Service Name]

Run the bonjour command without any arguments to get a list of available services no matter their Service Name.

$ bonjour
Intranet._http._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._http._tcp.local
Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local
Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local

Add a Service Name as the 1st argument to limit your search to only instanes of the given Servie Name:

$ bonjour ipp
Brother 5070N._ipp._tcp.local
Canon W2200._ipp._tcp.local
HP LaserJet 4600._ipp._tcp.local

Gotcha

Due to the way the DNS-SD standard is defined, services run by clients that do not respond to _services._dns-sd._udp.<Domain> queries will not be discovered if you do not provide their Service Name as the 1st argument.
