Name service components for Bixby.js.
bixby-ns is a set of components for obtaining naming information in a
service-oriented application.
This package takes inspiration - for both its name and its functionality - from Name Service Switch (NSS), a source of common configuration and name resolution mechanisms on Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems.
Unlike NSS, bixby-ns solely provides information about static, well-known
details, such as service names
and protocol numbers.
Dynamic information is provided by specialized packages that better suit the
requirements of modern, service-oriented architectures including:
bixby-sd: Service discovery and hostname-to-address translation.@authnomicon/*: Directory services for user, group, and credential information.
