With <para><filename>…</filename></para>, we get a separate "paragraph" for
each line, i.e. entries separated by empty lines. This uses up a lot of space
and was only done because docbook makes it hard to insert a newline. In some
other places, <literallayout> was used, but then we cannot indent the source
text (because the whitespace would end up in the final page). We can get the
desired result with <simplelist>.
With <simplelist> the items are indented in roff output, but not in html
output. In some places this looks better then no indentation, and in others it
would probably be better to have no indent. But this is a minor issue and we
cannot control that.
(I didn't convert all spots. There's a bunch of other man pages which have two
lines, e.g. an executable and service file, and it doesn't matter there so
much.)
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4035.html#section-3.2.1 says
security-aware recursive name server MUST set DO bit when sending
requests. systemd-resolved does not do that by design. State it more
clearly in manual page. Unlike other implementations it disables not
only validation as it stated, but complete DNSSEC awareness.

serve stale feature to keep the DNS resource records beyond TTL to return them as stale records in case of upstream server is not reachable or returns negative response.
SD_RESOLVED_NO_STALE flag has been added to disable serving stale records via dbus.
added serve stale test cases to TEST-75-RESOLVED
Fixes: #21815
The details discussion of how search and route-only domains work is in
systemd-resolved.service(8). But users are more likely to look at
resolved.conf(5), because that's where Domains= is described. So let's add a
reference to the other man page there, and also strengthen the text a bit. In
particular, in systemd-resolved.service(8) we say "route-only", which makes
the distinction with search domains clearer. Let's use the same in the other
man page too.
This is based on feedback from Lukáš Nykrýn that the man page is not clear
enough.
* The new varlink interface exposes a method to subscribe to DNS
resolutions on the system. The socket permissions are open for owner and
group only.
* Notifications are sent to subscriber(s), if any, after successful
resolution of A and AAAA records.
This feature could be used by applications for auditing/logging services
downstream of the resolver. It could also be used to asynchronously
update the firewall. For example, a system that has a tightly configured
firewall could open up connections selectively to known good hosts based
on a known allow-list of hostnames. Of course, updating the firewall
asynchronously will require other design considerations (such as
queueing packets in the user space while a verdict is made).

This beefs up the DNS stub logic to listen on two IP addresses:
127.0.0.53 (as before) + 127.0.0.54 (new). When the latter is contact
our stub will operate in "bypass" mode only, i.e we'll try to pass DNS
requests as unmodified upstream as we can (and not do mDNS/LLMNR and
such, also no DNSSEC validation – but we'll still do DNS-over-TLS
wrapping).
This is supposed to be useful for container environments or tethering:
this stub could be exposed (via NAT redirect) to clients of this system
and we'll try to stay out of the way with doing too much DNS magic
ourselves, but still expose whatever the current DNS server is from
upstream under a stable address/port.
How to use this:
# iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp -i <interface> --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.54:53
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/route_localnet
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
We said that ~domains "do not define a search path", which is mighty confusing,
because this is exactly what they do. So let's try to make this a bit easier
for the reader: start by saying that there are two things going on here, and
describe each one from user's POV.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
Widely accepted certificates for IP addresses are expensive and only
affordable for larger organizations. Therefore if the user provides
the hostname in the DNS= option, we should use it instead of the IP
address.
DNSOverTLS in strict mode (value yes) does check the server, as it is said in
the first few lines of the option documentation. The check is not performed in
"opportunistic" mode, however, as that is allowed by RFC 7858, section "4.1.
Opportunistic Privacy Profile".

Change the resolved.conf Cache option to a tri-state "no, no-negative, yes" values.
If a lookup returns SERVFAIL systemd-resolved will cache the result for 30s (See 201d995),
however, there are several use cases on which this condition is not acceptable (See systemd#5552 comments)
and the only workaround would be to disable cache entirely or flush it , which isn't optimal.
This change adds the 'no-negative' option when set it avoids putting in cache
negative answers but still works the same heuristics for positive answers.

The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.

RFC7766 section 4 states that in the absence of EDNS0, a response that
is too large for a 512-byte UDP packet will have the 'truncated' bit
set. The client is expected to retry the query over TCP.
Fixes#10264.
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
