OK, I see.

Thanks. I've added your patch with the following modifications:
- Don't mention YP. We don't want to be sued by British Telecom.
- getdomainname.h: More comments about the function's semantics.
- xgetdomainname.h: Likewise.
- getdomainname.h: Include <stddef.h>, needed for size_t.
- getdomainname.c: Produce EINVAL error when the buffer is too small.
- getdomainname.m4: Remove unnecessary AC_REQUIRE([AC_GNU_SOURCE]).
- getdomainname: Fill the Includes: section.
- getdomainname: Fix the lib_* variable name.
- MODULES.html.sh: Put the functions into section "Misc", not "Networking
functions". (NIS is not a service that provides
networking capabilities.)
