Determine the class and network interface indices of a
locally running virtual machine or container

Description
sd_machine_get_class() may be used to
determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or
container that is registered with
systemd-machined.service8.
The string returned is either vm or
container. The returned string needs to be
freed with the libc free3
call after use.
sd_machine_get_ifindices() may be used to determine the numeric indices of the
network interfaces on the host that are pointing towards the specified locally running virtual machine or
container. The vm or container must be registered with
systemd-machined.service8.
The output parameter ret_ifindices may be passed as NULL when
the output value is not needed. The returned array needs to be freed with the libc free3 call after
use.
Return Value
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer.
sd_machine_get_ifindices() returns the number of the relevant network interfaces.
On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-ENXIO
The specified machine does not exist or is currently not running.
-EINVAL
An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where
that is not accepted).
-ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
