SUBUID(5)                          File Formats and Conversions                         SUBUID(5)



NAME
       subuid - the subordinate uid file

DESCRIPTION
       Each line in /etc/subuid contains a user name and a range of subordinate user ids that
       user is allowed to use. This is specified with three fields delimited by colons (":").
       These fields are:

       o   login name or UID

       o   numerical subordinate user ID

       o   numerical subordinate user ID count

       This file specifies the user IDs that ordinary users can use, with the newuidmap command,
       to configure uid mapping in a user namespace.

       Multiple ranges may be specified per user.

       When large number of entries (10000-100000 or more) are defined in /etc/subuid, 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.
