### Reference

This lens tries to keep as close as possible to `man nsswitch.conf` where possible.

### Lens Usage

### Configuration files

This lens applies to /etc/nsswitch.conf. See filter.

### USEFUL PRIMITIVES

### comment

> let comment = Util.comment

### empty

> let empty = Util.empty

### sep_colon

> let sep_colon = del /:[ \t]*/ ": "

The separator for database entries

### database_kw

> let database_kw = Rx.word

The database specification like `passwd’, `shadow’, or `hosts’

### service

> let service = [ label "service" . store Rx.word ]

The service specification like `files’, `db’, or `nis’

### reaction

> let reaction = let status_kw = /[Ss][Uu][Cc][Cc][Ee][Ss][Ss]/ | /[Nn][Oo][Tt][Ff][Oo][Uu][Nn][Dd]/ | /[Uu][Nn][Aa][Vv][Aa][Ii][Ll]/ | /[Tt][Rr][Yy][Aa][Gg][Aa][Ii][Nn]/ in let action_kw = /[Rr][Ee][Tt][Uu][Rr][Nn]/ | /[Cc][Oo][Nn][Tt][Ii][Nn][Uu][Ee]/ | /[Mm][Ee][Rr][Gg][Ee]/ in let negate = [ Util.del_str "!" . label "negate" ] in let reaction_entry = [ label "status" . negate? . store status_kw . Util.del_str "=" . [ label "action" . store action_kw ] ] in Util.del_str "[" . [ label "reaction" . (Build.opt_list reaction_entry Sep.space) ] . Util.del_str "]"

The reaction on lookup result like `[NOTFOUND=return]’ TODO: Use case-insensitive regexps when ticket #147 is fixed.

### database

> let database = [ label "database" . store database_kw . sep_colon . (Build.opt_list (service|reaction) Sep.space) . Util.comment_or_eol ]

### lns

> let lns = ( empty | comment | database )*

### filter

> let comment = Util.comment

> let empty = Util.empty

> let sep_colon = del /:[ \t]*/ ": "

The separator for database entries

> let database_kw = Rx.word

The database specification like `passwd’, `shadow’, or `hosts’

> let service = [ label "service" . store Rx.word ]

The service specification like `files’, `db’, or `nis’

> let reaction = let status_kw = /[Ss][Uu][Cc][Cc][Ee][Ss][Ss]/ | /[Nn][Oo][Tt][Ff][Oo][Uu][Nn][Dd]/ | /[Uu][Nn][Aa][Vv][Aa][Ii][Ll]/ | /[Tt][Rr][Yy][Aa][Gg][Aa][Ii][Nn]/ in let action_kw = /[Rr][Ee][Tt][Uu][Rr][Nn]/ | /[Cc][Oo][Nn][Tt][Ii][Nn][Uu][Ee]/ | /[Mm][Ee][Rr][Gg][Ee]/ in let negate = [ Util.del_str "!" . label "negate" ] in let reaction_entry = [ label "status" . negate? . store status_kw .
