@c {{{ dns
@node dns command
@subsubsection dns
The @code{dns} command configures how are hostnames and IP addresses resolved in
@code{chronyc}. IP addresses can be resolved to hostnames when printing results
of @code{sources}, @code{sourcestats}, @code{tracking} and @code{clients}
commands. Hostnames are resolved in commands that take an address as argument.
There are five forms of the command:
@table @code
@item dns -n
Disables resolving IP addresses to hostnames. Raw IP addresses will be
displayed.
@item dns +n
Enables resolving IP addresses to hostnames. This is the default unless
@code{chronyc} was started with @code{-n} option.
@item dns -4
Resolves hostnames only to IPv4 addresses.
@item dns -6
Resolves hostnames only to IPv6 addresses.
@item dns -46
Resolves hostnames to both address families. This is the default unless
@code{chronyc} was started with @code{-4} or @code{-6} option.
