* Use an mmap()'d buffer instead of a static buffer for the contentsmillert2018-08-211-19/+16
| | | | | | | | of the pointer returned by getpw{ent,nam,uid}(). We unmap the buffer each time to catch callers using a stale passwd struct pointer. As a special case, we do not unmap the buffer if the previous lookup was for the same name or uid. This special case may be removed in the future. OK deraadt@

* For getgrent.3:guenther2015-10-301-12/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - delete the commented out setgrfile bits, as well as the MLINK - rename getgr{nam,gid}_r()'s 'buffer' parameters to 'buf' to be consistent with getpwnam(3) and practically all other section 3 manpages - we have sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX) now, so uncomment and revise the text For getpwnam.3: - rename buflen to bufsize for consistency - rewrite the description of the getpw{nam,uid}_r functions to match the better getgr{nam,gid}_r() description, adding sysconf() bits Add sysconf(3) to SEE ALSO for both encouraged by schwarze@ ok millert@
