libraries +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +.B getent [\fIoption\fP]... \fIdatabase\fP \fIkey\fP... +.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.B getent +command displays entries from databases supported by the +Name Service Switch libraries, +which are configured in +.IR /etc/nsswitch.conf . +If one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, +then only the entries that match the supplied keys will be displayed. +Otherwise, if no +.I key +is provided, all entries will be displayed (unless the database does not +support enumeration). +.PP +The +.I database +may be any of those supported by the GNU C Library, listed below: +.RS 3 +.TP 10 +.B ahosts +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR sethostent (3), +.BR gethostent (3), +and +.BR endhostent (3) +to enumerate the hosts database. +This is identical to using +.BR hosts . +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +in succession to +.BR getaddrinfo (3) +with the address family +.BR AF_UNSPEC , +enumerating each socket address structure returned. +.TP +.B ahostsv4 +Same as +.BR ahosts , +but use the address family +.BR AF_INET . +.TP +.B ahostsv6 +Same as +.BR ahosts , +but use the address family +.BR AF_INET6 . +The call to +.BR getaddrinfo (3) +in this case includes the +.B AI_V4MAPPED +flag. +.TP +.B aliases +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setaliasent (3), +.BR getaliasent (3), +and +.BR endaliasent (3) +to enumerate the aliases database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +in succession to +.BR getaliasbyname (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B ethers +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +in succession to +.BR ether_aton (3) +and +.BR ether_hostton (3) +until a result is obtained, and display the result. +Enumeration is not supported on +.BR ethers , +so a +.I key +must be provided. +.TP +.B group +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setgrent (3), +.BR getgrent (3), +and +.BR endgrent (3) +to enumerate the group database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each numeric +.I key +to +.BR getgrgid (3) +and each nonnumeric +.I key +to +.BR getgrnam (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B gshadow +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setsgent (3), +.BR getsgent (3), +and +.BR endsgent (3) +to enumerate the gshadow database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +in succession to +.BR getsgnam (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B hosts +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR sethostent (3), +.BR gethostent (3), +and +.BR endhostent (3) +to enumerate the hosts database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +to +.BR gethostbyaddr (3) +or +.BR gethostbyname2 (3), +depending on whether a call to +.BR inet_pton (3) +indicates that the +.I key +is an IPv6 or IPv4 address or not, and display the result. +.TP +.B initgroups +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each +.I key +in succession to +.BR getgrouplist (3) +and display the result. +Enumeration is not supported on +.BR initgroups , +so a +.I key +must be provided. +.TP +.B netgroup +When one +.I key +is provided, pass the +.I key +to +.BR setnetgrent (3) +and, using +.BR getnetgrent (3) +display the resulting string triple +.RI ( hostname ", " username ", " domainname ). +Alternatively, three +.I keys +may be provided, which are interpreted as the +.IR hostname , +.IR username , +and +.I domainname +to match to a netgroup name via +.BR innetgr (3). +Enumeration is not supported on +.BR netgroup , +so either one or three +.I keys +must be provided. +.TP +.B networks +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setnetent (3), +.BR getnetent (3), +and +.BR endnetent (3) +to enumerate the networks database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each numeric +.I key +to +.BR getnetbyaddr (3) +and each nonnumeric +.I key +to +.BR getnetbyname (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B passwd +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setpwent (3), +.BR getpwent (3), +and +.BR endpwent (3) +to enumerate the passwd database. +When one or more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each numeric +.I key +to +.BR getpwuid (3) +and each nonnumeric +.I key +to +.BR getpwnam (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B protocols +When no +.I key +is provided, use +.BR setprotoent (3), +.BR getprotoent (3), +and +.BR

more +.I key +arguments are provided, pass each numeric +.I key +to +.BR getrpcbynumber (3) +and each nonnumeric +.I key +to +.BR getrpcbyname (3) +and display the result. +.TP +.B services +When no
