// resolvconf -- put the nameserver where the resolver will look.
//
// SchOS has no DNS client, and the interesting part is that it does not need
// one. musl contains a complete resolver: `getaddrinfo` reads
// /etc/resolv.conf, sends a query over an ordinary UDP socket and parses the
// reply, and every one of those pieces already worked here. The single missing
// fact was *which* nameserver -- which arrives in a DHCP reply the kernel
// handled and never told anyone about.
//
// That is what made `wget` look broken. It was not wget, and it was not the
// core utilities: nothing on this system could turn a name into an address, so
// every program that took a hostname failed the same way and each one looked
// like its own separate bug.
//
//     resolvconf          wait for a nameserver, write it, exit
//     resolvconf -n       write whatever there is now, do not wait
//     resolvconf -p       print what the kernel has, change nothing
//
// The kernel publishes /proc/resolv.conf and stops there, deliberately: it
// renders resolv.conf's exact syntax so this is a copy rather than a
// translation, and *whether* /etc/resolv.conf should be overwritten is a
// policy question. A machine with a hand-written one should keep it, which is
// why -f exists and why it is not the default.
