RESOLV_WRAPPER(1)					     RESOLV_WRAPPER(1)

NAME
       resolv_wrapper -	A wrapper for dns name resolving or dns	faking.

SYNOPSIS
       LD_PRELOAD=libresolv_wrapper.so
       RESOLV_WRAPPER_CONF="/path/to/resolv.conf" ./myapplication

DESCRIPTION
       resolv_wrapper makes it possible	on most	UNIX platforms to contact your
       own DNS implementation in your test environment.	It requires
       socket_wrapper to be able to contact it.	If it doesn't work on a
       special platform	the wrapper is able to fake DNS	queries	and return
       valid responses to your application.

          Redirects name queries to the nameservers specified in your
	   resolv.conf

          Can fake DNS	queries	using a	simple formatted DNS hosts file.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       RESOLV_WRAPPER_CONF
	   This	is used	to specify the resolv.conf to use. The format of the
	   resolv.conf file is defined in the manpage resolv.conf(5).
	   Currently only the namserver	directive is supported.

       In order	that this works	with socket_wrapper. The res_* symbols need to
       be in a separate	libresolv library. If they are part of libc this wont
       work. This is the case with glibc >= 2.34.

       RESOLV_WRAPPER_HOSTS
	   This	environment variable is	used for faking	DNS queries. It	must
	   point to a hosts-like text file that	specifies fake records for
	   custom queries. The format of the file looks	like this:

	       TYPE    RECORD_NAME RECORD_VALUE

       For example:

	   A	   dc.cwrap.org	127.0.0.10
	   AAAA	   dc.cwrap.org	fd00::5357:5f0a
	   CNAME   kerberos.cwrap.org dc.cwrap.org
	   SRV	   _kerberos._tcp.cwrap.org kerberos.cwrap.org 88
	   URI	   _vpn.cwrap.org https://vpn.cwrap.org/VPN
	   TXT	   cwrap.org v=spf1 mx

       RESOLV_WRAPPER_DEBUGLEVEL
	   If you need to see what is going on in resolv_wrapper itself	or try
	   to find a bug, you can enable logging support in resolv_wrapper if
	   you built it	with debug symbols.

	      0 = ERROR

	      1 = WARNING

	      2 = DEBUG

	      3 = TRACE

       RESOLV_WRAPPER_DISABLE_DEEPBIND
	   This	allows you to disable deep binding in resolv_wrapper. This is
	   useful for running valgrind tools or	sanitizers like	(address,
	   undefined, thread).

EXAMPLE
       The following command would trick kinit(1) into using DNS servers from
       "./resolv.conf" for Kerberos service resolution:

	   $ LD_PRELOAD=libresolv_wrapper.so RESOLV_WRAPPER_CONF="./resolv.conf" kinit user@EXAMPLE.COM
