<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
Each line in <filename>/etc/subgid</filename> contains
a user name and a range of subordinate group ids that user
is allowed to use.
This is specified with three fields delimited by colons
(<quote>:</quote>).
These fields are:
</para>
<itemizedlist mark='bullet'>
<listitem>
<para>login name or UID</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>numerical subordinate group ID</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>numerical subordinate group ID count</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
This file specifies the group IDs that ordinary users can use, with
the <command>newgidmap</command> command, to configure gid mapping
in a user namespace.
</para>
<para>
Multiple ranges may be specified per user.
</para>
<para>
When large number of entries (10000-100000 or more) are defined in
<filename>/etc/subgid</filename>, parsing performance penalty will
become noticeable. In this case it is recommended to use UIDs
instead of login names. Benchmarks have shown speed-ups up to 20x.
