  Description     : Public client interface for NIS(YP) and NIS+

This package contains the libnsl library, which contains the public
client interface for NIS(YP) and NIS+. This code was formerly part of
glibc, but is now standalone to be able to link against TI-RPC for IPv6
support.

glibc 2.32 removed support for linking against the libnsl.so.1 library,
although the library is still shipped. The libnsl library, providing
libnsl.so.2 (so that it is co-installable), now replaces it.

This package will be maintained within the glibc team.
