+Set the default value of the `verbatim` parameter in the Node.js [`dns.lookup()`](https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dnslookuphostname-options-callback) and [`dnsPromises.lookup()`](https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dnspromiseslookuphostname-options) functions. The value could be:
+
+* `ipv4first`: sets default `verbatim` `false`.
+* `verbatim`: sets default `verbatim` `true`.
+
+The default is `verbatim` and `dns.setDefaultResultOrder()` have higher priority than `--dns-result-order`.
