configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

getaddrinfo() accidentally returns IPv4 mapped IPv6 address instead
of native IPv4 address.
Now, getaddinfo() is scoped address ready. You can put scoped
address within /etc/hosts.

TODO: more fix for the case where IPv4 mapped IPv6 addr is disabled
Reviewed by: ume
Sorry for the flapping, but no change will be done for 4.0 anymore.
Official standard will be published around April or later.
If different format would be adopted at that time, then support for
the new format will be added to the succeeding FreeBSD 4.x.

(shortend format, etc)
Current KAME getaddrinfo() supports only d.d.d.d format IPv4
addr. But traditionally inet_aton() and etc support other formats.
(shortend format and octal/deciaml/hex format)
Aboud this,
-As far as the discussion on freebsd-current, many people
think traditional format should also be supported by getaddrinfo().
-X/Open spec requires getaddrinfo() also support those
traditional IPv4 format.
-RFC2553 say nothing about it.
-As the result of confirmation in ietf/ipng list, there is
no clear concensus yet, and the reply was, "RFC2553 update
and X/Open spec will be in sync"
So takeing these conditions into account, I think
getaddrinfo() should also support traditional IPv4 format.

KAME scoped addr format is changed recently.
before: addr@scope
now: scope%addr
Because the end of IPv6 numeric addr is tend to be truncated in
`netstat -rn ` output, so placing scope part at starting of addr
will be convenient.

just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

-don't do reverse lookup
I think I checked all lib and tools which use getaddrinfo() if

points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
(1)added error check of if_nameindex() return value at getaddrinfo().
(2)print out more detailed information when getaddrinfo() error value
is EAI_SYSTEM.(in this case system error num is kept in errno)
