From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nikola =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Forr=F3?= Subject: [patch] nsswitch.conf.5: Add list of files being read when "files" service is used Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 14:14:32 +0100 Message-ID: <1447420472.3144.3.camel@redhat.com> Reply-To: nforro-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Return-path: Sender: linux-man-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: Michael Kerrisk Cc: linux-man List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org This is not mentioned anywhere. Users can assume that the file being re= ad is something like /etc/$DATABASE, but that's not always the case. It's = better to explicitly specify which file is read for each respective database. The list of files was acquired from glibc source code.
