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.
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
This removes documentation of SD_RESOLVED_REQUIRE_PRIMARY and
SD_RESOLVED_CLAMP_TTL, which are internal flags, and not usable from
outside of resolved. They are refused by D-Bus APIs, for a reason.
Various other fixes/clean-ups of the relevant docs (including reordering
of the flags docs by "grouping" rather than bit values).
Fixes: #26619
The socket is only accessible to privileged clients anyway, no need to
add another (user unfriendly) restriction via opt-in setting. let's just
allow this for privileged clients, mirroring "busctl monitor", or
"tcpdump" and similar, which all just work if you have privs.
(This does not break API, since we never did a release witht the
"Monitor" dbus property or config setting in place, i.e. with
cb456374e0)
* 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).

GetMulticastHosts() returns an array of hostnames/addresses discovered via
LLMNR or Multicast DNS. It does not trigger any discovery on its own.
Instead, it simply returns whatever is already in resolved's cache.
It can be one of "foreign", "missing", "stub", "static", "uplink",
depending on how /etc/resolv.conf is set up:
foreign → someone/something else manages /etc/resolv.conf,
systemd-resolved is just the consumer
missing → /etc/resolv.conf is missing altogether
stub/static/uplink → the file is managed by resolved, with the
well-known modes
Fixes: #17159
This has the advantage that the executables are always in place and we don't
need any units to exist on the bus, so we can eventually hook this up into
a normal build system. (Probably as a build time check.)
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.

This is useful to raise the log level for a single transaction or a few,
without affecting other state of the resolved as a restart would.
The log level can only be set, I didn't bother with having the ability
to restore the original as in pid1.
This replaces the api export tables with updated versions, and inserts
comments for all "undocumented" items. The slow work of documented them
is left for later ;)
lxml does some formatting changes that are not significant for lxml processing,
but generate spurious difference in the diff (namely: ulinks become one-line,
and double quotes are used instead of single quotes for element attribute
values). This should be a one-time thing: subsequent renegeration should be
idempotent with regards to this.
