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:

       ·   login name

       ·   numerical subordinate group ID

       ·   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.
