remove bogus punctuation

Clarify getpw*_r() return value when entry isn't found.
Improve markup of various constants.

Use Dq macro; end sentence with a dot; break line

Remove superfluous comma.

Describe get{pw,gr}ent_r. XXX: Are they in any standards?

Drop trailing whitespace.

Document the return values of the _r functions.

branches: 1.25.2;
Add missing function types for getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r.

Overhaul the use of nsdispatch(3) by public APIs so that the back-end
methods use va_list in a manner that is directly related to the public API.
This makes it much easier to write dynamic nsswitch backends for getpwent(3).
Per my proposal on tech-userlevel.

Implement getpwgid_r() and getpwnam_r() APIs per the POSIX 1003.1, 2004 Ed.
These aren't fully reentrant or threadsafe yet, because the compat stuff
currently uses non-reentrant data sources (getnetgrent(3), getpwent(3)),
and there is probably some locking to be improved in the backends.
This will be fixed in the near future.
We also need to add _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX to sysconf(3).

Fix the compat `+' prototype override so getpwnam(3) and getpwuid(3) DTRT.

Improve the description of pw_class and pw_gecos.

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.

Use
.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.

New sentence, new line. From Robert Elz.

Xr passwd.conf

* highlight that getpwent() doesn't suppress duplicate info from multiple
nsswitch.conf sources
* consistently refer to `functions', rather than occasionally referring
to them as `routines'.

branches: 1.14.2;
reference nsswitch.conf(5)

Fix mdoc .Xr reference for syntax or correctness (e.g. exec(2) versus exec(3)).
Make other mdoc corrections as inspection dictated.

add LIBRARY section to man page

Add missing `STANDARDS' compliance statements. As we #define _POSIX_VERSION
to 199009L, bump existing statements to 1003.1-1990.

xref getlogin(2) not getlogin(3)

alternate -> alternative, per PR 2643

PR 3279, from <david@mono.org>.
Bugs section changed to clarify that static passwd structure
used for return value is shared among all functions.

update from Lite, with local changes. fix Ids, etc.

Password databases live in /etc, not /var/db. (PR #685)

Fix spelling errors.

Update source and manual pages to match X/Open 1170 specification.
Updated setpassent() to understand YP (a bug), and changed setpwent()
to simply be a call to setpassent(0) (to remove duplicated code).

X/Open 1170 defines the return type of setpwent() to be void -- a trival
change since our setpwent() allways succeeded.

Add RCS identifiers.
