-- Thread safety of passwd/group database access APIs:
--
-- All supported unix platforms have @get(pw|gr)(nam|[ug]id)_r(3)@, which
-- store the result in a caller provided buffer, which solves the most
-- immediate thread-safety issues.
--
-- Things are more complicated for getpwent(3) and getgrent(3).
--
-- * On Linux systems, these read a global open file, opened via
--   setpwent(3) and closed via endpwent(3).  Only one thread at
--   a time can safely iterate through the file.
--
-- * On macOS (through Catalina 10.15), there is no getpwent_r(3) or
--   getgrent_r(3), so a lock is also required for safe buffer sharing.
--
-- * On FreeBSD, in the default configuration with passwd lookups configured
--   in nsswitch.conf to use "compat" rather than "files", the getpwnam_r(3)
--   and getpwuid_r(3) functions reset the iterator index used by getpwent(3).
--   A bug [report](https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252094)
--   has been filed to track this long-standing issue.  A similar issue affects
--   getgrent(3), this time regardless of the nsswitch.conf setting.  This too
--   should be fixed at some point in the future.  The state in question is
--   thread-specific, so both issues only affect overlapping use of the @*ent@
--   and @*(nam|[ug]id)_r(3)@ functions in the /same/ thread.
--
-- * Despite rather similar manpages for getpwent(3) and getpwnam(3), ... as
--   on FreeBSD, the above issue is not seen on NetBSD or macOS.
--
--   This is not an issue with 1-to-1 thread models, where the code executing
--   @get(pw|gr)ent@ has exclusive use of its thread, but it is a real issue
--   for Haskell with its many-to-1 green threads, because multiple `forkIO`
--   threads may take turns using the same underlying OS thread, breaking the
--   thread-safety of the @*_r@ functions, which mutate the file-offset of the
--   open file shared with any overlapping execution of @*ent(3)@ in the same
--   thread.
--
-- Consequently, correct portable support for @get(pw|gr)ent(3)@ is rather
-- non-trivial.  In the threaded runtime, we can run these functions in a
-- /bound thread/ (via 'forkOS'), thereby avoiding the FreeBSD issues.  We
-- still need a lock to serialise multiple threads calling these functions
-- on at least macOS for lack of @_r@ equivalents.  While on FreeBSD we could
-- use @getpwent_r(3)@ and @getgrent_r(3)@ in a bound thread without any
-- locks, implementing this special case is likely not worthwhile.
--
-- In the non-threaded runtime, `forkOS` is not available, and so on FreeBSD
-- systems we have to also lock the @*(nam|[ug]id)_r(3)@ functions to avoid
-- concurrent use with @*ent(3)@.
--
-- FWIW, the below Perl one-liners will quickly show whether interleaved calls
-- of getpwuid() or getgrgid() disturb iteration through all the entries. If
-- each line of output is distinct, there is likely no issue.  If the same
-- passwd or group entry repeats multiple times, the system is affected.
--
-- > for ($i=0;$i<3;++$i) {getpwuid(0); print join(":",getpwent()),"\n"}
-- > for ($i=0;$i<3;++$i) {getgrgid(0); print join(":",getgrent()),"\n"}
--
-- XXX: It has been suggested, not without some merit, that attempts to
-- enumerate /all/ users or /all/ groups are fundamentally flawed.  Modern
-- unix systems have a variety nsswitch backends, some of which instantiate
-- users on demand or may enumerate slowly or not at all.  We could shed a
-- lot of complexity by deprecating the "get all" functions and simply
-- always returning an empty list.
