<para><command>systemd-resolve</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 operation the reverse operation is
done, and a hostname is retrieved for the specified addresses.</para>
<para>The <option>--type=</option> 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.</para>
<para>The <option>--service</option> switch may be used to resolve <ulink
url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782">SRV</ulink> and <ulink
url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6763">DNS-SD</ulink> 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).</para>
<para>The <option>--statistics</option> switch may be used to show resolver statistics, including information about
the number of succesful and failed DNSSEC validations.</para>
<para>The <option>--reset-statistics</option> may be used to reset various statistics counters maintained the
resolver, including those shown in the <option>--statistics</option> output. This operation requires root
privileges.</para>

protocols that may be used. Use this option multiple times to enable resolving via multiple protocols at the
same time. The setting <literal>llmnr</literal> is identical to specifying this switch once with
<literal>llmnr-ipv4</literal> and once via <literal>llmnr-ipv6</literal>. Note that this option does not force
