   2 # This file can theoretically contain a bunch of customization variables
   3 # for Name Service Switch in the GNU C library.  For now there are only
   4 # three variables:
   5 #
   6 # NETID_AUTHORITATIVE
   7 #   If set to TRUE, the initgroups() function will accept the information
   8 #   from the netid.byname NIS map as authoritative.  This can speed up the
   9 #   function significantly if the group.byname map is large.  The content
  10 #   of the netid.byname map is used AS IS.  The system administrator has
  11 #   to make sure it is correctly generated.
  12 #NETID_AUTHORITATIVE=TRUE
  13 #
  14 # SERVICES_AUTHORITATIVE
  15 #   If set to TRUE, the getservbyname{,_r}() function will assume
  16 #   services.byservicename NIS map exists and is authoritative, particularly
  17 #   that it contains both keys with /proto and without /proto for both
  18 #   primary service names and service aliases.  The system administrator
  19 #   has to make sure it is correctly generated.
  20 #SERVICES_AUTHORITATIVE=TRUE
  21 #
  22 # SETENT_BATCH_READ
  23 #  If set to TRUE, various setXXent() functions will read the entire
  24 #  database at once and then hand out the requests one by one from
  25 #  memory with every getXXent() call.  Otherwise each getXXent() call
  26 #  might result into a network communication with the server to get
  27 #  the next entry.
  28 #SETENT_BATCH_READ=TRUE
