108 <title>Description</title>
109
110 <para><command>systemd-resolve</command> may be used to resolve domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, DNS resource
111 records and services with the
112 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
113 resolver service. By default, the specified list of parameters will be resolved as hostnames, retrieving their IPv4
114 and IPv6 addresses. If the parameters specified are formatted as IPv4 or IPv6 operation the reverse operation is
115 done, and a hostname is retrieved for the specified addresses.</para>
116
117 <para>The <option>--type=</option> switch may be used to specify a DNS resource record type (A, AAAA, SOA, MX, ...) in
118 order to request a specific DNS resource record, instead of the address or reverse address lookups.
119 The special value <literal>help</literal> may be used to list known values.</para>
120
121 <para>The <option>--service</option> switch may be used to resolve <ulink
122 url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782">SRV</ulink> and <ulink
123 url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6763">DNS-SD</ulink> services (see below). In this mode, between one and three
124 arguments are required. If three parameters are passed the first is assumed to be the DNS-SD service name, the
125 second the SRV service type, and the third the domain to search in. In this case a full DNS-SD style SRV and TXT
126 lookup is executed. If only two parameters are specified, the first is assumed to be the SRV service type, and the
127 second the domain to look in. In this case no TXT RR is requested. Finally, if only one parameter is specified, it
128 is assumed to be a domain name, that is already prefixed with an SRV type, and an SRV lookup is done (no
129 TXT).</para>
130
131 <para>The <option>--openpgp</option> switch may be used to query PGP keys stored as
132 <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wouters-dane-openpgp-02">OPENPGPKEY</ulink> resource records.
133 When this option is specified one or more e-mail address must be specified.</para>
134
135 <para>The <option>--tlsa</option> switch maybe be used to query TLS public
136 keys stored as
137 <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698">TLSA</ulink> resource records.
138 When this option is specified one or more domain names must be specified.</para>
139
140 <para>The <option>--statistics</option> switch may be used to show resolver statistics, including information about
141 the number of successful and failed DNSSEC validations.</para>
142
143 <para>The <option>--reset-statistics</option> may be used to reset various statistics counters maintained the
144 resolver, including those shown in the <option>--statistics</option> output. This operation requires root
145 privileges.</para>

165 <listitem><para>Specifies the network interface to execute the query on. This may either be specified as numeric
166 interface index or as network interface string (e.g. <literal>en0</literal>). Note that this option has no
167 effect if system-wide DNS configuration (as configured in <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> or
168 <filename>/etc/systemd/resolve.conf</filename>) in place of per-link configuration is used.</para></listitem>

178 <literal>llmnr-ipv4</literal>, <literal>llmnr-ipv6</literal> (LLMNR via the indicated underlying IP
179 protocols). By default the lookup is done via all protocols suitable for the lookup. If used, limits the set of
180 protocols that may be used. Use this option multiple times to enable resolving via multiple protocols at the
181 same time. The setting <literal>llmnr</literal> is identical to specifying this switch once with
182 <literal>llmnr-ipv4</literal> and once via <literal>llmnr-ipv6</literal>. Note that this option does not force
183 the service to resolve the operation with the specified protocol, as that might require a suitable network
184 interface and configuration.
185 The special value <literal>help</literal> may be used to list known values.
