+
+ <para><command>resolvectl</command> is a multi-call binary, which previously was named <literal>systemd-resolve</literal>
+ and used slightly different parameters. When it is invoked as <literal>systemd-resolve</literal>
+ (generally achieved by means of a symbolic link of this name to the <command>resolvectl</command> binary),
+ it runs in compatibility mode. For details on the specific parameters and calling syntax, see the output from
+ <command>systemd-resolve --help</command>. Calling the binary as <literal>systemd-resolve</literal> is
+ deprecated and should only be done for backwards compatibility. All current and new use should call the binary
+ as <literal>resolvectl</literal>.</para>
