>Description:
resolver(5) aka resolv.conf(5) is extremely badly out of date. The resolver code has been updated from Bind a number of times, but this particular piece of documentation has not been synced in a while.
See:
resolver(3)
src/contrib/bind/doc/man/resolver.5 (this is missing some stuff too, though)
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/man/man5/resolv.conf.5
In particular, the most important missing options are:
- edns0
- insecure1
- insecure2
>How-To-Repeat:
man 3 resolver
man 5 resolver
less /usr/src/lib/libc/net/res_init.c
nroff -mandoc /usr/src/contrib/bind/doc/man/resolver.5 | less
>Fix:
Sync up the descriptions, and add insecure1/insecure2/edns0.
(I would have made the patch, but I don't know what's the copyright policy because the boilerplates with local and bind's resolver.5 don't match...)
