=========
nfs.idmap is designed to be called by request-key, and should not be run "by
hand". This program takes two arguments, a serialized key and a key
description. The serialized key is first converted into a key_serial_t, and
then passed as an argument to keyctl_instantiate (both are part of keyutils.h).
The actual lookups are performed by functions found in nfsidmap.h. nfs.upcall
The actual lookups are performed by functions found in nfsidmap.h. nfs.idmap
determines the correct function to call by looking at the first part of the
description string. For example, a uid lookup description will appear as
"uid:user@domain".
nfs.upcall will return 0 if the key was instantiated, and non-zero otherwise.
nfs.idmap will return 0 if the key was instantiated, and non-zero otherwise.
