Talk:Getent

Origin
I would like to see a history/origin section for getent. What I have found so far: It's not standardized in POSIX. It's available on Solaris, Linux, and the BSDs, but not macOS. On Linux it's implemented as part of glibc. The BSD man pages say that their implementations are based on the Solaris and Linux versions. --Jrdnch (talk) 16:09, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
