Dig for link-local

[Alok Raj]

Hi,

How dig-command is able to resolve an ip using link-local address, /etc/resolv.conf has only one entry - ipv6-link link local address, if I write dig www.domain.com<http://www.domain.com>, it is able to resolve that and print the address.

Can anyone help me out in documentation or code please?
Thanks,
Alok
