+nm-daemon-helper
+================
+
+A internal helper application that is spawned by NetworkManager
+to perform certain actions.
+
+Currently all it does is doing a reverse DNS lookup, which
+cannot be done by NetworkManager because the operation requires
+to reconfigure the libc resolver (which is a process-wide operation).
+
+This is not directly useful to the user.
