 I don't think so.  getservbyname() uses .cdb.  It used to use .db but
 no longer does.  There's no point to document what it used to do.
 
 On the other hand services_mkdb can update _both_ new .cdb, used by
 the current getservbyname(), _and_ the old .db that is used by
 e.g. old copies of getservbyname() from previous releases that are
 statically linked into old static binaries.  So in this case the old
 .db file needs to be documented.
