Currently, the nscd parent process parses commandline options and
configuration, forks on startup and immediately exits with a success.
If the child process encounters some error after this, it goes
undetected and any services started up after it may have to repeatedly
check to make sure that the nscd service did actually start up and is
serving requests.
To make this process more reliable, I have added a pipe between the
parent and child process, through which the child process sends a
notification to the parent informing it of its status. The parent
waits for this status and once it receives it, exits with the
corresponding exit code. So if the child service sends a success
status (0), the parent exits with a success status. Similarly for
error conditions, the child sends the non-zero status code, which the
parent passes on as the exit code.
This, along with setting the nscd service type to forking in its
systemd configuration file, allows systemd to be certain that the nscd
service is ready and is accepting connections.
Usage output for option --invalidate=TABLE is not helpful without
list of tables. The list is also missing from nscd(8) manual which
made it pretty difficult to know what are the tables.

default is first entry.

For a better integration of nscd with systemd, we should run nscd not as
daemon but in the foreground. A new --foreground option should be added.

nscd can clear caches when certain files change. The list of files
was hardcoded so far and worked for nss_files and nss_dns and those
modules which need no monitoring. nss_db, for instance, has its
own set of files to monitor. Now the NSS modules themselves can
request that certain files are monitored.
Because we are not shutting down the other threads first another
thread might work on a query before the process shuts down. In this
case the now uninitialized libselinux and libaudit might be used.
Just don't free the resources. It's not necessary anyway because
the process is about to terminate.
