+config BR2_PACKAGE_GETENT
+ bool "getent"
+ help
+ This package installs the 'getent' utility, which allows to
+ get entries from Name Service Switch libraries. For glibc
+ toolchains, it's the real getent program from the C library
+ that gets installed, which is NSS-capable. For uclibc and
+ musl toolchains, it's a simple wrapper script that emulates
+ getent's behavior, since there is no NSS support in uclibc
+ and musl.
