.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsystemd\-resolve\fR
may be used to resolve domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, DNS resource records and services with the
\fBsystemd-resolved.service\fR(8)
resolver service\&. By default, the specified list of parameters will be resolved as hostnames, retrieving their IPv4 and IPv6 addresses\&. If the parameters specified are formatted as IPv4 or IPv6 operation the reverse operation is done, and a hostname is retrieved for the specified addresses\&.
.PP
The program\*(Aqs output contains information about the protocol used for the look\-up and on which network interface the data was discovered\&. It also contains information on whether the information could be authenticated\&. All data for which local DNSSEC validation succeeds is considered authenticated\&. Moreover all data originating from local, trusted sources is also reported authenticated, including resolution of the local host name, the
"localhost"
host name or all data from
/etc/hosts\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-type=\fR
switch may be used to specify a DNS resource record type (A, AAAA, SOA, MX, \&.\&.\&.) in order to request a specific DNS resource record, instead of the address or reverse address lookups\&. The special value
"help"
may be used to list known values\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-service\fR
switch may be used to resolve
\m[blue]\fBSRV\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
and
\m[blue]\fBDNS\-SD\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2
services (see below)\&. In this mode, between one and three arguments are required\&. If three parameters are passed the first is assumed to be the DNS\-SD service name, the second the SRV service type, and the third the domain to search in\&. In this case a full DNS\-SD style SRV and TXT lookup is executed\&. If only two parameters are specified, the first is assumed to be the SRV service type, and the second the domain to look in\&. In this case no TXT RR is requested\&. Finally, if only one parameter is specified, it is assumed to be a domain name, that is already prefixed with an SRV type, and an SRV lookup is done (no TXT)\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-openpgp\fR
switch may be used to query PGP keys stored as
\m[blue]\fBOPENPGPKEY\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2
resource records\&. When this option is specified one or more e\-mail address must be specified\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-tlsa\fR
switch maybe be used to query TLS public keys stored as
\m[blue]\fBTLSA\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[4]\d\s+2
resource records\&. When this option is specified one or more domain names must be specified\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-statistics\fR
switch may be used to show resolver statistics, including information about the number of successful and failed DNSSEC validations\&.
.PP
The
\fB\-\-reset\-statistics\fR
may be used to reset various statistics counters maintained the resolver, including those shown in the
\fB\-\-statistics\fR
output\&. This operation requires root privileges\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-4\fR, \fB\-6\fR
.RS 4
By default, when resolving a hostname, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are acquired\&. By specifying
\fB\-4\fR
only IPv4 addresses are requested, by specifying
\fB\-6\fR
only IPv6 addresses are requested\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-i\fR \fIINTERFACE\fR, \fB\-\-interface=\fR\fIINTERFACE\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the network interface to execute the query on\&. This may either be specified as numeric interface index or as network interface string (e\&.g\&.
"en0")\&. Note that this option has no effect if system\-wide DNS configuration (as configured in
/etc/resolv\&.conf
or
/etc/systemd/resolve\&.conf) in place of per\-link configuration is used\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-p\fR \fIPROTOCOL\fR, \fB\-\-protocol=\fR\fIPROTOCOL\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the network protocol for the query\&. May be one of
"dns"
(i\&.e\&. classic unicast DNS),
"llmnr"
(\m[blue]\fBLink\-Local Multicast Name Resolution\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2),
"llmnr\-ipv4",
"llmnr\-ipv6"
(LLMNR via the indicated underlying IP protocols)\&. By default the lookup is done via all protocols suitable for the lookup\&. If used, limits the set of protocols that may be used\&. Use this option multiple times to enable resolving via multiple protocols at the same time\&. The setting
"llmnr"
is identical to specifying this switch once with
"llmnr\-ipv4"
and once via
"llmnr\-ipv6"\&. Note that this option does not force the service to resolve the operation with the specified protocol, as that might require a suitable network interface and configuration\&. The special value
"help"
may be used to list known values\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-t\fR \fITYPE\fR, \fB\-\-type=\fR\fITYPE\fR, \fB\-c\fR \fICLASS\fR, \fB\-\-class=\fR\fICLASS\fR
.RS 4
Specifies the DNS resource record type (e\&.g\&. A, AAAA, MX, \&...) and class (e\&.g\&. IN, ANY, \&...) to look up\&. If these options are used a DNS resource record set matching the specified class and type is requested\&. The class defaults to IN if only a type is specified\&. The special value
"help"
may be used to list known values\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-service\fR
.RS 4
Enables service resolution\&. This enables DNS\-SD and simple SRV service resolution, depending on the specified list of parameters (see above)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-service\-address=\fR\fIBOOL\fR
.RS 4
Takes a boolean parameter\&. If true (the default), when doing a service lookup with
\fB\-\-service\fR
the hostnames contained in the SRV resource records are resolved as well\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-service\-txt=\fR\fIBOOL\fR
.RS 4
Takes a boolean parameter\&. If true (the default), when doing a DNS\-SD service lookup with
\fB\-\-service\fR
the TXT service metadata record is resolved as well\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-openpgp\fR
.RS 4
Enables OPENPGPKEY resource record resolution (see above)\&. Specified e\-mail addresses are converted to the corresponding DNS domain name, and any OPENPGPKEY keys are printed\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-tlsa\fR
.RS 4
Enables TLSA resource record resolution (see above)\&. A query will be performed for each of the specified names prefixed with the port and family ("_\fIport\fR\&._\fIfamily\fR\&.\fIdomain\fR")\&. The port number may be specified after a colon (":"), otherwise
\fB443\fR
will be used by default\&. The family may be specified as an argument after
\fB\-\-tlsa\fR, otherwise
\fBtcp\fR
will be used\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-cname=\fR\fIBOOL\fR
.RS 4
Takes a boolean parameter\&. If true (the default), DNS CNAME or DNAME redirections are followed\&. Otherwise, if a CNAME or DNAME record is encountered while resolving, an error is returned\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-search=\fR\fIBOOL\fR
.RS 4
Takes a boolean parameter\&. If true (the default), any specified single\-label hostnames will be searched in the domains configured in the search domain list, if it is non\-empty\&. Otherwise, the search domain logic is disabled\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-raw\fR[=payload|packet]
.RS 4
Dump the answer as binary data\&. If there is no argument or if the argument is
"payload", the payload of the packet is exported\&. If the argument is
"packet", the whole packet is dumped in wire format, prefixed by length specified as a little\-endian 64\-bit number\&. This format allows multiple packets to be dumped and unambigously parsed\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-legend=\fR\fIBOOL\fR
.RS 4
Takes a boolean parameter\&. If true (the default), column headers and meta information about the query response are shown\&. Otherwise, this output is suppressed\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-statistics\fR
.RS 4
If specified general resolver statistics are shown, including information whether DNSSEC is enabled and available, as well as resolution and validation statistics\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-reset\-statistics\fR
.RS 4
Resets the statistics counters shown in
\fB\-\-statistics\fR
to zero\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-flush\-caches\fR
.RS 4
Flushes all DNS resource record caches the service maintains locally\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-status\fR
.RS 4

.RE
.PP
