    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>resolvectl</command> may be used to resolve domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, DNS resource
    records and services with the
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    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 addresses the reverse operation is
    done, and a hostname is retrieved for the specified addresses.</para>

    <para>The program's 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 <literal>localhost</literal> hostname or all data from <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>.</para>

          <para>Get/set per-interface DNS configuration. These commands may be used to configure various DNS
          settings for network interfaces. These commands may be used to inform
          <command>systemd-resolved</command> or <command>systemd-networkd</command> about per-interface DNS
          configuration determined through external means. The <command>dns</command> command expects IPv4 or
          IPv6 address specifications of DNS servers to use. Each address can optionally take a port number
          separated with <literal>:</literal>, a network interface name or index separated with
          <literal>%</literal>, and a Server Name Indication (SNI) separated with <literal>#</literal>. When
          IPv6 address is specified with a port number, then the address must be in the square brackets. That
          is, the acceptable full formats are <literal>111.222.333.444:9953%ifname#example.com</literal> for
          IPv4 and <literal>[1111:2222::3333]:9953%ifname#example.com</literal> for IPv6. The
          <command>domain</command> command expects valid DNS domains, possibly prefixed with
          <literal>~</literal>, and configures a per-interface search or route-only domain. The
          <command>default-route</command> command expects a boolean parameter, and configures whether the
          link may be used as default route for DNS lookups, i.e. if it is suitable for lookups on domains no
          other link explicitly is configured for. The <command>llmnr</command>, <command>mdns</command>,
          <command>dnssec</command> and <command>dnsovertls</command> commands may be used to configure the
          per-interface LLMNR, MulticastDNS, DNSSEC and DNSOverTLS settings. Finally, <command>nta</command>
          command may be used to configure additional per-interface DNSSEC NTA domains.</para>

          <para>Commands <command>dns</command>, <command>domain</command> and <command>nta</command> can take
          a single empty string argument to clear their respective value lists.</para>

        By default the lookup is done via all protocols suitable for the lookup. If used, limits the set of

    <title>Compatibility with
    <citerefentry project="debian"><refentrytitle>resolvconf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry></title>

    <para><command>resolvectl</command> is a multi-call binary. When invoked as <literal>resolvconf</literal>
    (generally achieved by means of a symbolic link of this name to the <command>resolvectl</command> binary) it
    is run in a limited
    <citerefentry project="debian"><refentrytitle>resolvconf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    compatibility mode. It accepts mostly the same arguments and pushes all data into
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    similar to how <option>dns</option> and <option>domain</option> commands operate. Note that
    <command>systemd-resolved.service</command> is the only supported backend, which is different from other
    implementations of this command.</para>

    <para><filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> will only be updated with servers added with this command
    when <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> is a symlink to
    <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename>, and not a static file. See the discussion of
    <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> handling in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>Not all operations supported by other implementations are supported natively. Specifically:</para>
