		LongDescription: `
There are a number of mutable name protocols that can link among
themselves and into IPNS.  For example IPNS references can (currently)
point at IPFS object, and DNS links can point at other DNS links, IPNS
entries, or IPFS objects.  This command accepts any of these
identifiers and resolves them to the referenced item.

Examples:

Resolve the value of your identity:

  > ipfs resolve /ipns/QmatmE9msSfkKxoffpHwNLNKgwZG8eT9Bud6YoPab52vpy
  /ipfs/Qmcqtw8FfrVSBaRmbWwHxt3AuySBhJLcvmFYi3Lbc4xnwj

Resolve the value of another name:

  > ipfs resolve /ipns/QmbCMUZw6JFeZ7Wp9jkzbye3Fzp2GGcPgC3nmeUjfVF87n
  /ipns/QmatmE9msSfkKxoffpHwNLNKgwZG8eT9Bud6YoPab52vpy

Resolve the value of another name recursively:

  > ipfs resolve -r /ipns/QmbCMUZw6JFeZ7Wp9jkzbye3Fzp2GGcPgC3nmeUjfVF87n
  /ipfs/Qmcqtw8FfrVSBaRmbWwHxt3AuySBhJLcvmFYi3Lbc4xnwj
