@ -6,6 +6,12 @@ Library (glibc). Turbonss implements lookup for `user` and `passwd` database
entries (i.e. system users, groups, and group memberships). It's main goal is
performance, with focus on making [`id(1)`][id] run as fast as possible.
Turbonss is optimized for reading. If the data changes in any way, the whole
file will need to be regenerated (and tooling only supports only full
generation). It was created, and best suited, for environments that have a
central user & group database which then needs to be distributed to many
servers/services.
To understand more about name service switch, start with
[`nsswitch.conf(5)`][nsswitch].

all `offset_*` values could be `u26`. As `u32` is easier to visualize with xxd,
and the header block fits to 64 bytes anyway, we are keeping them as u32 now.
Sections whose lengths can be calculated do not have a corresponding `offset_*`
header field. For example, `cmph_gid2group` comes immediately after the header,
and `idx_groupname2group` comes after `idx_gid2group`, whose offset is
`offset_idx`, and size can be calculated.
