+/* These symbols are defined by the including source file:
+
+   ENTNAME -- database name of the structure and functions (hostent, pwent).
+   STRUCTURE -- struct name, define only if not ENTNAME (passwd, group).
+   DATABASE -- string of the database file's name ("hosts", "passwd").
+
+   ENTDATA -- if defined, `struct ENTDATA' is used by the parser to store
+              things pointed to by the resultant `struct STRUCTURE'.
+
+   NEED_H_ERRNO - defined iff an arg `int *herrnop' is used.
