AFAIK you invoke it with "-a" and a "tag" that names your configuration, and then dump some config to it over stdin. Then when you're done with that config (or exiting) you invoke it with "-d" and it removes that config and replaces the previous one. NM does what resolvconf also does. Resolvconf is used in debian and (was) maybe SUSE for quite a while until they switched to something called netconf instead. resolvconf still requires modifications to programs so that they talk to resolvconf and don't just overwrite /etc/resolv.conf.
