+# This example script parses /etc/resolv.conf to retrive DNS information.
+# In the interest of keeping the KVP daemon code free of distro specific
+# information; the kvp daemon code invokes this external script to gather
+# DNS information.
+# This script is expected to print the nameserver values to stdout.
+# Each Distro is expected to implement this script in a distro specific
+# fashion. For instance on Distros that ship with Network Manager enabled,
+# this script can be based on the Network Manager APIs for retrieving DNS
+# entries.
