Replacement for old libnss-mysql as naming service library in Linux.
You can store user information in MariaDB/MySQL database. E.g. ls then automatically shows user name from the database.
Required libraries for building the library and test:
apt-get install cmake libssl-dev libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libconfig-dev libmysqlclient-dev
mkdir Debug
cd Debug
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make VERBOSE=1
mkdir Release
cd Release
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make VERBOSE=1
make test
but to see the output from unit testing library (to see what failed):
ctest --verbose
naming service switch handler

The MariaDB Connector/C is used to connect applications developed in C/C++ to MariaDB and MySQL databases. MySQL Connector/C is LGPL licensed.
Prior to version 2.1 the name for the library was MariaDB Client library for C.
I've chosen libconfig, because:
- JSON hasn't multiline strings
- cannot found well maintained INI parser for linux, not sure about multiline strings
- libyaml is event based and I don't really understand it. Also YAML depends on indentation (or braces).
- libconfig is used by nginx, so it is not a big unknown. It has multiline strings and is multiplatform (BSD, ...)
- the support for unix socket
- cmake build setup - DONE
- configuration - DONE
- prepared statements (it's so hard) - WIP
- more examples - NOT STARTED
- log errors to systlog - NOT STARTED
- optimize via macros - NOT STARTED
- remove printf() and debugs && try it with valgrind - NOT STARTED
