Command line interface

resolved consists of a DNS nameserver and client, and some conversion utilities for hosts and zone files:

• resolved - DNS server. Listens on port 53 to respond to DNS queries. Read this in conjunction with the configuration documentation and guides.

• dnsq - DNS client. Command-line tool to resolve a single query in the same way as resolved does, useful for testing configuration changes.

• Conversion utilities. Convert between hosts files and zone files, validating the contents and normalising the formatting.
