+ 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

+ 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>
