man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>sd-login.h</filename> provides APIs to
|
|
introspect and monitor seat, login session and user
|
|
status information on the local system. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>See <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat">Multi-Seat
|
|
on Linux</ulink> for an introduction into multi-seat
|
|
support on Linux, the background for this set of APIs.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these APIs only allow purely passive access
|
|
and monitoring of seats, sessions and users. To
|
|
actively make changes to the seat configuration,
|
|
terminate login sessions, or switch session on a seat
|
|
you need to utilize the D-Bus API of
|
|
systemd-logind, instead.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These functions synchronously access data in
|
|
<filename>/proc</filename>,
|
|
<filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/run</filename>. All of these are virtual
|
|
file systems, hence the runtime cost of the accesses
|
|
is relatively cheap.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is possible (and often a very good choice) to
|
|
mix calls to the synchronous interface of
|
|
<filename>sd-login.h</filename> with the asynchronous
|
|
D-Bus interface of systemd-logind. However, if this is
|
|
done you need to think a bit about possible races
|
|
since the stream of events from D-Bus and from
|
|
<filename>sd-login.h</filename> interfaces such as the
|
|
login monitor are asynchronous and not ordered against
|
|
each other.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the functions return string arrays, these are
|
|
generally NULL terminated and need to be freed by the
|
|
caller with the libc
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
call after use, including the strings referenced
|
|
therein. Similar, individual strings returned need to
|
|
be freed, as well.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As a special exception, instead of an empty
|
|
string array NULL may be returned, which should be
|
|
treated equivalent to an empty string array.</para>
