| <title>Methods</title> |
| |
| <para><function>ResolveHostname()</function> takes a hostname and resolves it to one or more IP addresses. |
| As parameters it takes the Linux network interface index to execute the query on, or 0 if it may be |
| done on any suitable interface. The <varname>name</varname> parameter specifies the hostname to |
| resolve. Note that if required, IDNA conversion is applied to this name unless it is resolved via LLMNR or MulticastDNS. The <varname>family</varname> parameter |
| limits the results to a specific address family. It may be <constant>AF_INET</constant>, |
| <constant>AF_INET6</constant> or <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>. If <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant> is specified (recommended), both kinds are retrieved, subject |
| to local network configuration (i.e. if no local, routable IPv6 address is found, no IPv6 address is |
| retrieved; and similarly for IPv4). A 64-bit <varname>flags</varname> field may be used to alter the |
| behaviour of the resolver operation (see below). The method returns an array of address records. Each |
| address record consists of the interface index the address belongs to, an address family as well as a |
| byte array with the actual IP address data (which either has 4 or 16 elements, depending on the address |
| family). The returned address family will be one of <constant>AF_INET</constant> or |
| <constant>AF_INET6</constant>. For IPv6, the returned address interface index should be used to |
| initialize the .sin6_scope_id field of a <structname>struct sockaddr_in6</structname> instance to permit |
| support for resolution to link-local IP addresses. The address array is followed by the canonical name |
| of the host, which may or may not be identical to the resolved hostname. Finally, a 64-bit |
| <varname>flags</varname> field is returned that is defined similarly to the <varname>flags</varname> |
| field that was passed in, but contains information about the resolved data (see below). If the hostname |
| passed in is an IPv4 or IPv6 address formatted as string, it is parsed, and the result is returned. In |
| this case, no network communication is done.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ResolveAddress()</function> executes the reverse operation: it takes an IP address and |
| acquires one or more hostnames for it. As parameters it takes the interface index to execute the query |
| on, or <constant>0</constant> if all suitable interfaces are OK. The <varname>family</varname> |
| parameter indicates the address family of the IP address to resolve. It may be either |
| <constant>AF_INET</constant> or <constant>AF_INET6</constant>. The <varname>address</varname> parameter |
| takes the raw IP address data (as either a 4 or 16 byte array). The <varname>flags</varname> input |
| parameter may be used to alter the resolver operation (see below). The method returns an array of name |
| records, each consisting of an interface index and a hostname. The <varname>flags</varname> output |
| field contains additional information about the resolver operation (see below).</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ResolveRecord()</function> takes a DNS resource record (RR) type, class and name, and |
| retrieves the full resource record set (RRset), including the RDATA, for it. As parameter it takes the |
| Linux network interface index to execute the query on, or <constant>0</constant> if it may be done on |
| any suitable interface. The <varname>name</varname> parameter specifies the RR domain name to look up |
| (no IDNA conversion is applied), followed by the 16-bit class and type fields (which may be |
| ANY). Finally, a <varname>flags</varname> field may be passed in to alter behaviour of the look-up (see |
| below). On completion, an array of RR items is returned. Each array entry consists of the network interface |
| index the RR was discovered on, the type and class field of the RR found, and a byte array of the raw |
| RR discovered. The raw RR data starts with the RR's domain name, in the original casing, followed |
| by the RR type, class, TTL and RDATA, in the binary format documented in |
| <ulink url="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt">RFC 1035</ulink>. For RRs that support name |
| compression in the payload (such as MX or PTR), the compression is expanded in the returned |
| data.</para> |
| |
| <para>Note that currently, the class field has to be specified as IN or ANY. Specifying a different |
| class will return an error indicating that look-ups of this kind are unsupported. Similarly, some |
| special types are not supported either (AXFR, OPT, …). While <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> parses and validates resource |
| records of many types, it is crucial that clients using this API understand that the RR data originates |
| from the network and should be thoroughly validated before use.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ResolveService()</function> may be used to resolve a DNS SRV service record, as well as the |
| hostnames referenced in it, and possibly an accompanying DNS-SD TXT record containing additional |
| service metadata. The primary benefit of using this method over <function>ResolveRecord()</function> |
| specifying the SRV type is that it will resolve the SRV and TXT RRs as well as the hostnames referenced |
| in the SRV in a single operation. As parameters it takes a Linux network interface index, a service |
| name, a service type and a service domain. This method may be invoked in three different modes:</para> |
| |
| <orderedlist> |
| <listitem><para>To resolve a DNS-SD service, specify the service name (e.g. <literal>Lennart's |
| Files</literal>), the service type (e.g. <literal>_webdav._tcp</literal>) and the domain to search in |
| (e.g. <literal>local</literal>) as the three service parameters. The service name must be in UTF-8 |
| format, and no IDNA conversion is applied to it in this mode (as mandated by the DNS-SD |
| specifications). However, if necessary, IDNA conversion is applied to the domain parameter.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| |
| <listitem><para>To resolve a plain SRV record, set the service name parameter to the empty string |
| and set the service type and domain properly. (IDNA conversion is applied to the domain, if |
| necessary.)</para></listitem> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Alternatively, leave both the service name and type empty and specify the full |
| domain name of the SRV record (i.e. prefixed with the service type) in the domain parameter. (No IDNA |
| coversion is applied in this mode.)</para></listitem> |
| </orderedlist> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>family</varname> parameter of the <function>ResolveService()</function> method encodes |
| the desired family of the addresses to resolve (use <constant>AF_INET</constant>, |
| <constant>AF_INET6</constant>, or <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>). If this is enabled (Use the |
| <constant>NO_ADDRESS</constant> flag to turn address resolution off, see below). The |
| <varname>flags</varname> parameter takes a couple of flags that may be used to alter the resolver |
| operation.</para> |
| |
| <para>On completion, <function>ResolveService()</function> returns an array of SRV record structures. Each |
| items consisting of the priority, weight and port fields as well as the hostname to contact, as encoded in the SRV |
| record. Immediately following is an array of the addresses of this hostname, with each item consisting |
| of the interface index, the address family and the address data in a byte array. This address array is |
| followed by the canonicalized hostname. After this array of SRV record structures an array of byte |
| arrays follows that encodes the TXT RR strings, in case DNS-SD look-ups are enabled. The next parameters |
| are the canonical service name, type and domain. This may or may not be identical to the parameters |
| passed in. Finally, a <varname>flags</varname> field is returned that contains information about the |
| resolver operation performed.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>ResetStatistics()</function> method resets the various statistics counters that |
| <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> maintains to zero. (For details, see the statistics properties below.)</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>GetLink()</function> method takes a network interface index and returns the object |
| path to the <interfacename>org.freedesktop.resolve1.Link</interfacename> object corresponding to it. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SetLinkDNS()</function> method sets the DNS servers to use on a specific |
| interface. This method (and the following ones) may be used by network management software to configure |
| per-interface DNS settings. It takes a network interface index as well as an array of DNS server IP |
| address records. Each array item consists of an address family (either <constant>AF_INET</constant> or |
| <constant>AF_INET6</constant>), followed by a 4-byte or 16-byte array with the raw address data. This |
| method is a one-step shortcut for retrieving the Link object for a network interface using |
| <function>GetLink()</function> (see above) and then invoking the <function>SetDNS()</function> method |
| (see below) on it. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>Network management software integrating with <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> should |
| call this method (and the five below) after the interface appeared in the kernel (and thus after a |
| network interface index has been assigned), but before the network interfaces is activated |
| (<constant>IFF_UP</constant> set) so that all settings take effect during the full time the network |
| interface is up. It is safe to alter settings while the interface is up, however. Use |
| <function>RevertLink()</function> (described below) to reset all per-interface settings.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SetLinkDomains()</function> method sets the search and routing domains to use on a |
| specific network interface for DNS look-ups. It takes a network interface index and an array of domains, |
| each with a boolean parameter indicating whether the specified domain shall be used as a search domain |
| (false), or just as a routing domain (true). Search domains are used for qualifying single-label names into |
| FQDN when looking up hostnames, as well as for making routing decisions on which interface to send |
| queries ending in the domain to. Routing domains are only used for routing decisions and not used for single-label |
| name qualification. Pass the search domains in the order they should be used.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SetLinkLLMNR()</function> method enables or disables LLMNR support on a specific |
| network interface. It takes a network interface index as well as a string that may either be empty or one of |
| <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal> or <literal>resolve</literal>. If empty, the systemd-wide |
| default LLMNR setting is used. If <literal>yes</literal>, LLMNR is used for resolution of single-label |
| names and the local hostname is registered on all local LANs for LLMNR resolution by peers. If |
| <literal>no</literal>, LLMNR is turned off fully on this interface. If <literal>resolve</literal>, LLMNR |
| is only enabled for resolving names, but the local hostname is not registered for other peers to |
| use.</para> |
| |
| <para>Similarly, the <function>SetLinkMulticastDNS()</function> method enables or disables MulticastDNS |
| support on a specific interface. It takes the same parameters as <function>SetLinkLLMNR()</function> |
| described above.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SetLinkDNSSEC()</function> method enables or disables DNSSEC validation on a |
| specific network interface. It takes a network interface index as well as a string that may either be |
| empty or one of <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>, or <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>. When |
| empty, the system-wide default DNSSEC setting is used. If <literal>yes</literal>, full DNSSEC validation |
| is done for all look-ups. If the selected DNS server does not support DNSSEC, look-ups will fail if this |
| mode is used. If <literal>no</literal>, DNSSEC validation is fully disabled. If |
| <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>, DNSSEC validation is enabled, but is turned off automatically if the |
| selected server does not support it (thus opening up behaviour to downgrade attacks). Note that DNSSEC |
| only applies to traditional DNS, not to LLMNR or MulticastDNS.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SetLinkDNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors()</function> method may be used to configure DNSSEC |
| Negative Trust Anchors (NTAs) for a specific network interface. It takes a network interface index and a |
| list of domains as arguments.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>RevertLink()</function> method may be used to revert all per-link settings done with |
| the six methods described above to the defaults again.</para> |
| |
| <refsect3> |
| <title>The Flags Parameter</title> |
| |
| <para>The four methods above accept and return a 64-bit flags value. In most cases passing 0 is sufficient |
| and recommended. However, the following flags are defined to alter the look-up:</para> |
| |
| <programlisting> |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_DNS (UINT64_C(1) << 0) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_LLMNR_IPV4 (UINT64_C(1) << 1) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_LLMNR_IPV6 (UINT64_C(1) << 2) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_MDNS_IPV4 (UINT64_C(1) << 3) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_MDNS_IPV6 (UINT64_C(1) << 4) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_NO_CNAME (UINT64_C(1) << 5) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_NO_TXT (UINT64_C(1) << 6) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_NO_ADDRESS (UINT64_C(1) << 7) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_NO_SEARCH (UINT64_C(1) << 8) |
| #define SD_RESOLVED_AUTHENTICATED (UINT64_C(1) << 9) |
| </programlisting> |
| |
| <para>On input, the first five flags control the protocols to use for the look-up. They refer to |
| classic unicast DNS, LLMNR via IPv4/UDP and IPv6/UDP respectively, as well as MulticastDNS via |
| IPv4/UDP and IPv6/UDP. If all of these five bits are off on input (which is strongly recommended) the |
| look-up will be done via all suitable protocols for the specific look-up. Note that these flags |
| operate as filter only, but cannot force a look-up to be done via a protocol. Specifically, <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> |
| will only route look-ups within the .local TLD to MulticastDNS (plus some reverse look-up address |
| domains), and single-label names to LLMNR (plus some reverse address lookup domains). It will route |
| neither of these to Unicast DNS servers. Also, it will do LLMNR and Multicast DNS only on interfaces |
| suitable for multicast.</para> |
| |
| <para>On output, these five flags indicate which protocol was used to execute the operation, and hence |
| where the data was found.</para> |
| |
| <para>The primary use cases for these five flags are follow-up look-ups based on DNS data retrieved |
| earlier. In this case it is often a good idea to limit the follow-up look-up to the protocol that was |
| used to discover the first DNS result.</para> |
| |
| <para>The NO_CNAME flag controls whether CNAME/DNAME resource records shall be followed during the |
| look-up. This flag is only available at input, none of the functions will return it on output. If a |
| CNAME/DNAME RR is discovered while resolving a hostname, an error is returned instead. By default, |
| when the flag is off, CNAME/DNAME RRs are followed.</para> |
| |
| <para>The NO_TXT and NO_ADDRESS flags only influence operation of the |
| <function>ResolveService()</function> method. They are only defined for input, not output. If |
| NO_TXT set, the DNS-SD TXT RR look-up is not done in the same operation. If NO_ADDRESS is specified, |
| the hostnames discovered are not implicitly translated to their addresses.</para> |
| |
| <para>The NO_SEARCH flag turns off the search domain logic. It is only defined for input in |
| <function>ResolveHostname()</function>. When specified, single-label hostnames are not qualified |
| using defined search domains, if any are configured. Note that <function>ResolveRecord()</function> |
| will never qualify single-label domain names using search domains. Also note that |
| multi-label hostnames are never subject to search list expansion.</para> |
| |
| <para>The AUTHENTICATED bit is defined only in the output flags of the four functions. If set, the |
| returned data has been fully authenticated. Specifically, this bit is set for all DNSSEC-protected data |
| for which a full trust chain may be established to a trusted domain anchor. It is also set for locally |
| synthesized data, such as <literal>localhost</literal> or data from |
| <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>. Moreover, it is set for all LLMNR or mDNS RRs which originate from the |
| local host. Applications that require authenticated RR data for operation should check this flag before |
| trusting the data. Note that <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> will never return invalidated data, hence this flag |
| simply allows to discern the cases where data is known to be trustable, or where there is proof that |
| the data is "rightfully" unauthenticated (which includes cases where the underlying protocol or server |
| does not support authenticating data).</para> |
| </refsect3> |
| |
| </refsect2> |
| |
| <refsect2> |
| <title>Properties</title> |
| |
| <para><varname>LLMNRHostname</varname> contains the hostname currently exposed on the network via |
| LLMNR. It usually follows the system hostname as may be queried via |
| <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>gethostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, |
| but may differ if a conflict is detected on the network.</para> |
| |
| <para><varname>DNS</varname> contains an array of all DNS servers currently used by |
| <filename>systemd-resolved</filename>. It contains similar information as the DNS server data written to |
| /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. Each structure in the array consists of a numeric network interface |
| index, an address family, and a byte array containing the DNS server address (either 4 bytes in length |
| for IPv4 or 16 bytes in lengths for IPv6). The array contains DNS servers configured system-wide, |
| including those possibly read from a foreign <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> or the |
| <varname>DNS=</varname> setting in <filename>/etc/systemd/resolved.conf</filename>, as well as |
| per-interface DNS server information either retrieved from |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, |
| or configured by external software via <function>SetLinkDNS()</function> (see above). The network |
| interface index will be 0 for the system-wide configured services and non-zero for the per-link |
| servers.</para> |
| |
| <para>Similarly, the <varname>Domains</varname> property contains an array of all search and |
| routing domains currently used by <filename>systemd-resolved</filename>. Each entry consists of a network interface index (again, 0 |
| encodes system-wide entries), the actual domain name, and whether the entry is used only for routing |
| (true) or for both routing and searching (false).</para> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>TransactionStatistics</varname> property contains information about the number of |
| transactions <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> has processed. It contains a pair of unsigned 64-bit counters, the first |
| containing the number of currently ongoing transactions, the second the number of total transactions |
| <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> is processing or has processed. The latter value may be reset using the |
| <function>ResetStatistics()</function> method described above. Note that the number of transactions does |
| not directly map to the number of issued resolver bus method calls. While simple look-ups usually require a |
| single transaction only, more complex look-ups might result in more, for example when CNAMEs or DNSSEC |
| are in use.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>CacheStatistics</varname> property contains information about the executed cache |
| operations so far. It exposes three 64-bit counters: the first being the total number of current cache |
| entries (both positive and negative), the second the number of cache hits, and the third the number of |
| cache misses. The latter counters may be reset using <function>ResetStatistics()</function> (see |
| above). </para> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>DNSSECStatistics</varname> property contains information about the DNSSEC |
| validations executed so far. It contains four 64-bit counters: the number of secure, insecure, bogus, |
| and indeterminate DNSSEC validations so far. The counters are increased for each validated RRset, and |
| each non-existance proof. The secure counter is increased for each operation that successfully verified |
| a signed reply, the insecure counter is increased for each operation that successfully verified that an |
| unsigned reply is rightfully unsigned. The bogus counter is increased for each operation where the |
| validation did not check out and the data is likely to have been tempered with. Finally the |
| indeterminate counter is increased for each operation which did not complete because the necessary keys |
| could not be acquired or the cryptographic algorithms were unknown.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>DNSSECSupported</varname> boolean property reports whether DNSSEC is enabled and |
| the selected DNS servers support it. It combines information about system-wide and per-link DNS |
| settings (see below), and only reports true if DNSSEC is enabled and supported on every interface for |
| which DNS is configured and for the system-wide settings if there are any. Note that <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> assumes |
| DNSSEC is supported by DNS servers until it verifies that this is not the case. Thus, the reported |
| value may initially be true, until the first transactions are executed.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <varname>LogLevel</varname> property shows the (maximum) log level of the manager, with the |
| same values as the <option>--log-level=</option> option described in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> |

| <para>For each Linux network interface a "Link" object is created which exposes per-link DNS |
| configuration and state. Use <function>GetLink()</function> on the Manager interface to retrieve the |
| object path for a link object given the network interface index (see above).</para> |
| |
| <refsect2> |
| <title>Methods</title> |
| |
| <para>The various methods exposed by the Link interface are equivalent to their similarly named |
| counterparts on the Manager interface. e.g. <function>SetDNS()</function> on the Link object maps to |
| <function>SetLinkDNS()</function> on the Manager object, the main difference being that the later |
| expects an interface index to be specified. Invoking the methods on the Manager interface has the |
| benefit of reducing roundtrips, as it is not necessary to first request the Link object path via |
| <function>GetLink()</function> before invoking the methods. For further details on these methods see |
| the <interfacename>Manager</interfacename> documentation above.</para> |

| <title>Properties</title> |
| |
| <para><varname>ScopesMask</varname> defines which resolver scopes are currently active on this |
| interface. This 64-bit unsigned integer field is a bit mask consisting of a subset of the bits of the |
| flags parameter describe above. Specifically, it may have the DNS, LLMNR and MDNS bits (the latter in |
| IPv4 and IPv6 flavours) set. Each individual bit is set when the protocol applies to a specific |
| interface and is enabled for it. It is unset otherwise. Specifically, a multicast-capable interface in |
| the "UP" state with an IP address is suitable for LLMNR or MulticastDNS, and any interface that is UP and |
| has an IP address is suitable for DNS. Note the relationship of the bits exposed here with the LLMNR |
| and MulticastDNS properties also exposed on the Link interface. The latter expose what is *configured* |
| to be used on the interface, the former expose what is actually used on the interface, taking into |
| account the abilities of the interface.</para> |
| |
| <para><varname>DNSSECSupported</varname> exposes a boolean field that indicates whether DNSSEC is |
| currently configured and in use on the interface. Note that if DNSSEC is enabled on an interface, it is |
| assumed available until it is detected that the configured server does not actually support it. Thus, |
| this property may initially report that DNSSEC is supported on an interface.</para> |
| |
| <para>The other properties reflect the state of the various configuration settings for the link which |
| may be set with the various methods calls such as SetDNS() or SetLLMNR().</para> |
