+    <para><command>systemd-resolve</command> may be used to resolve domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, DNS resource
+    records and services with the
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    resolver service. By default, the specified list of parameters will be resolved as hostnames, retrieving their IPv4
+    and IPv6 addresses. If the parameters specified are formatted as IPv4 or IPv6 operation the reverse operation is
+    done, and a hostname is retrieved for the specified addresses.</para>
+
+    <para>The <option>--type=</option> switch may be used to specify a DNS resource record type (A, AAAA, SOA, MX, ...) in
+    order to request a specific DNS resource record, instead of the address or reverse address lookups.</para>
+
+    <para>The <option>--service</option> switch may be used to resolve <ulink
+    url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782">SRV</ulink> and <ulink
+    url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6763">DNS-SD</ulink> services (see below). In this mode, between one and three
+    arguments are required. If three parameters are passed the first is assumed to be the DNS-SD service name, the
+    second the SRV service type, and the third the domain to search in. In this case a full DNS-SD style SRV and TXT
+    lookup is executed. If only two parameters are specified, the first is assumed to be the SRV service type, and the
+    second the domain to look in. In this case no TXT RR is requested. Finally, if only one parameter is specified, it
+    is assumed to be a domain name, that is already prefixed with an SRV type, and an SRV lookup is done (no
+    TXT).</para>
+
+    <para>The <option>--statistics</option> switch may be used to show resolver statistics, including information about
+    the number of succesful and failed DNSSEC validations.</para>
+
+    <para>The <option>--reset-statistics</option> may be used to reset various statistics counters maintained the
+    resolver, including those shown in the <option>--statistics</option> output. This operation requires root
+    privileges.</para>
