Use a single-font-style macro (".B", ".I") for a single argument.

  The output from "nroff" and "groff" is unchanged, except for the

1) change of '-.' to '\- .' in the file "locale.5"

2) change of some '-' to '\-' in the file "locale.5".

Nikola Forró 85a7acd768 nsswitch.conf.5: Update NSS compatibility mode description
From the current description of NSS compatibility mode it seems
that /etc/passwd is the only file where special entries are
permitted.  But "compat" service can also be specified for group
and shadow databases, so this needs to be changed.

The list of special entries is for passwd database only, group
and shadow databases are not mentioned.  Because group database
does not support netgroup special entries and it deals with
groups, not users, it is better to make a separate list
of entries for it.

It is true that the default source for the compat pseudo-databases
is "nis", but it can be overridden by any NSS service, not just
"nisplus". Even "compat" itself can be specified as the source for
the pseudo-databases, but doing that of course leads to infinite
recursion, so it makes sense to disallow that.

The information was obtained from glibc source code, namely from
the following files:
nis/nss_compat/compat-pwd.c
nis/nss_compat/compat-grp.c
nis/nss_compat/compat-spwd.c

Nikola Forró 2e8536833c nsswitch.conf.5: Add list of files being read when "files" service is used
This is not mentioned anywhere. Users can assume that the file
being read is something like /etc/$DATABASE, but that's not
always the case. It's better to explicitly specify which
file is read for each respective database.  The list of
files was acquired from glibc source code.

Peter Schiffer 1b0f58cdaa nsswitch.conf.5: Mention initgroups db
Attached patch mentions initgroups db, which was added to the
glibc in commit [1] and describes unexpected behaviour for
group database with notfound status and return action, based
on comment on line 135 in initgroups.c file [2]. More detailed
explanation of this behaviour can be found in email [4] of email
thread [3].

    /* For compatibility reason we will continue to look for more
       entries using the next service even though data has already
       been found if the nsswitch.conf file contained only a 'groups'
       line and no 'initgroups' line.  If the latter is available
       we always respect the status.  This means that the default
       for successful lookups is to return.  */

Mark R Bannister 79e2fba2d9 nsswitch.conf.5: Significant rewrites and improvements
This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36.

My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the
man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar,
reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc.
I have checked the man page against the nss source code in
glibc 2.14.90.

Historical notes are demoted to the footer.

The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to
understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.
