/* Each "line" in nsswitch.conf maps a supported database (example:
   passwd) to one or more name service providers (example: files dns).
   Internally, each name service provider (example: dns) is a
   dynamically loadable module (i.e. libnss_dns.so), managed by
   nss_module.h.  The sequence of providers and rules (example: files
   [SUCCESS=RETURN] dns) is mapped by nss_action.h to a cached entry
   which encodes the sequence of modules and rules.  Keeping track of
   all supported databases and their corresponding actions is done
   here.

   The key entry is __nss_database_get, which provides a set of
   actions which can be used with nss_lookup_function() and
   nss_next().  Callers should assume that these functions are fast,
   and should not cache the result longer than needed.  */
