= OpenResolv =

'''`openresolv`''' is an implementation of '''`resolvconf(8)`'''. It provides an API for programs to manipulate the [[Linux/ResolvConf|resolver configuration file]].

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

If a program or service wants to manipulate the resolver file, it can instead pipe the editted configuration into `resolvconf(8)` with the argument `-a INTERFACE` (or `-a INTERFACE.PROTOCOL`).

If a DNS server is enabled, such as [[Dnsmasq|dnsmasq]], `resolvconf(8)` forwards the configuration to the service. These services are referred to as '''subscribers'''. To force push an update to all subscribers, try:

{{{
resolvconf -u
}}}

Otherwise `resolvconf(8)` will interpret the editted configuration together with the resolver file as-is, and write a comprehensive resolver file.

----



== Configuration ==

`openresolv` is configured through [[Linux/ResolvConfConf|resolvconf.conf(5)]].
