<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-resolved</command> is a system
- service that manages network name resolution. It does so by
- generating <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename>,
- which may be symlinked from <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.
- The contents is generated from the global settings in
+ service that manages network name resolution. It
+ implements a caching DNS stub resolver and an LLMNR
+ resolver and responder. It also generates
+ <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename>
+ for compatibility which may be symlinked from
+ <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. The DNS servers contacted
+ are determined from the global settings in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolved.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename> files,
- and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
