.SH DESCRIPTION
This program is invoked by request\-key on behalf of the kernel when kernel
services (such as NFS, CIFS and AFS) want to perform a hostname lookup and the
kernel does not have the key cached. It is not ordinarily intended to be
called directly.
.P
-It can be called in debugging mode to test its functionality by passing a
-\fB\-D\fR flag on the command line. For this to work, the key description and
-the callout information must be supplied. Verbosity can be increased by
-supplying one or more \fB\-v\fR flags.
+There program has internal parameters that can be changed with a configuration
+file (see key.dns_resolver.conf(5) for more information). The default
+configuration file is in /etc, but this can be overridden with the \fB-c\fR
+flag.
+.P
+The program can be called in debugging mode to test its functionality by
+passing a \fB\-D\fR or \fB\--debug\fR flag on the command line. For this to
+work, the key description and the callout information must be supplied.
+Verbosity can be increased by supplying one or more \fB\-v\fR flags.
+.P
+The program may also be called with \fB--dump-config\fR to show the values that
+configurable parameters will have after parsing the config file.

All errors will be logged to the syslog.
