.SH DESCRIPTION
Overwrite (\fB\-a\fR) or delete (\fB\-d\fR) the nameserver information
record for network interface \fIINTERFACE\fR
With \fB\-v\fR, we echo variables NEWDOMAIN, NEWSEARCH and NEWNS to the
console which can be used to make it easer writing scripts which configure
DNS resolvers.
+.PP
+With \fB\-s\fR, we work out if the service is running by finding its pidfile
+and if it is we restart it. This means that only resolvconf needs to know this
+for supported platforms and subscribers can just call this resolvconf function.
