How exactly does tshark -z hosts come up with the list?

How exactly does tshark -z hosts come up with the hosts list?

The man page says "Addresses are collected from a number of sources, including standard "hosts" files and captured traffic.".

I am curious to understand what the sources would be. I would assume DNS packets, maybe Windows Netbios or newer Windows protocols?

Thanks.
