	getaliasname_r.
	* aliases.h: New file.
	* inet/aliases.h: New file.
	* inet/getaliasent.c: New file.

	* nss/Makefile (databases): Add alias.
	* nss/alias-lookup.c: New file.
	* nss/databases.def: Add aliases and publickey.
	* nss/nss_db/db-alias.c: New file.
	* nss/nss_files/files-alias.c: New file.

	* inet/getnetgrent_r.c (__internal_getnetgrent): Buffer length
	argument to lookup function is of type size_t.
	(innetgr): Likewise.
	* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/getXXent_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c: Likewise.

	getXXent_r function now uses f[gs]etpos to get to the correct
	position.

	when talking about numbers.
	* manual/users.texi: Likewise.

	description header.

	on $(before-compile) which hasn't been properly setup yet at this
	point.

Sat Nov  9 02:02:48 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* sysdeps/generic/sigset.h: Don't use implicit int which will
	probably require a diagnostic in the next revision of the C
	standard.
