= nis-ffi

NIS (YP) library for Ruby using libc's libnsl through
ffi[https://github.com/ffi/ffi]. It is known to work on Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.3 and
JRuby 1.6.

Please note that only a few functions have been implemented, so please fork and
add the ones you need. It's really easy thanks to ffi!

== Usage

For installation, see {page on rubygems.org}[http://rubygems.org/gems/nis-ffi].

>> require 'nis-ffi'
>> NIS.yp_match("nis.example.org", "passwd.byname", "username")
=> "username:42pwdhashBEEF:1000:1111:Full Name:/home/username:/bin/zsh"

== Contributing to nis-ffi

* Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented
or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
* Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it
and/or contributed it
* Fork the project
* Start a feature/bugfix branch
* Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
* Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
future version unintentionally.
* Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to
have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please
isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
