NAME
       subgid - the subordinate gid file
DESCRIPTION
       Each line in /etc/subgid contains a user name and a range of
       subordinate group 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 group ID
       o   numerical subordinate group ID count
       This file specifies the group IDs that ordinary users can use, with the
       newgidmap command, to configure gid 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/subgid, 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.
