                <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
                <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
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                for more details.</para>

                <para>Note that <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename>
                should not be used directly, but only through a symlink from
                <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.</para>
