<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may
|
||
be used to monitor login sessions, users, seats, and
|
||
virtual machines/containers. Via a monitor object a
|
||
file descriptor can be integrated into an application
|
||
defined event loop which is woken up each time a user
|
||
logs in, logs out or a seat is added or removed, or a
|
||
session, user, seat or virtual machine/container
|
||
changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a
|
||
string which can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get
|
||
only notifications about seats being added, removed or
|
||
changed), <literal>session</literal> (to get only
|
||
notifications about sessions being created or removed
|
||
or changed), <literal>uid</literal> (to get only
|
||
notifications when a user changes state in respect to
|
||
logins) or <literal>machine</literal> (to get only
|
||
notifications when a virtual machine or container is
|
||
started or stopped). If notifications shall be
|
||
generated in all these conditions, <constant>NULL</constant> may be
|
||
passed. Note that in the future additional categories
|
||
may be defined. The second parameter returns a monitor
|
||
object and needs to be freed with the
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call
|
||
after use.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>
|
||
may be used to destroy a monitor object. Note that
|
||
this will invalidate any file descriptor returned by
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>
|
||
may be used to reset the wakeup state of the monitor
|
||
object. Whenever an event causes the monitor to wake
|
||
up the event loop via the file descriptor this
|
||
function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
|
||
state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor
|
||
will immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>
|
||
may be used to retrieve the file descriptor of the
|
||
monitor object that may be integrated in an
|
||
application defined event loop, based around
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or a similar interface. The application should include
|
||
the returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the
|
||
events mask returned by
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. It
|
||
should pass a timeout value as returned by
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>. Whenever
|
||
a wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be
|
||
reset via
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An
|
||
application needs to reread the login state with a
|
||
function like
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or similar to determine what changed.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
|
||
will return the <function>poll()</function> mask to
|
||
wait for. This function will return a combination of
|
||
<constant>POLLIN</constant>, <constant>POLLOUT</constant>
|
||
and similar to fill into the
|
||
<literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct
|
||
pollfd</varname>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>
|
||
will return a timeout value for usage in
|
||
<function>poll()</function>. This returns a value in
|
||
microseconds since the epoch of <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>
|
||
for timing out <function>poll()</function> in
|
||
<varname>timeout_usec</varname>. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details about
|
||
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there is no
|
||
timeout to wait for this will fill in
|
||
<constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> instead. Note that
|
||
<function>poll()</function> takes a relative timeout
|
||
in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout in
|
||
microseconds. To convert the absolute 'us' timeout into
|
||
relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>uint64_t t;
|
||
int msec;
|
||
sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &t);
|
||
if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
|
||
msec = -1;
|
||
else {
|
||
struct timespec ts;
|
||
uint64_t n;
|
||
clock_getttime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
|
||
n = (uint64_t) ts.tv_sec * 1000000 + ts.tv_nsec / 1000;
|
||
msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
|
||
}</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>The code above does not do any error checking
|
||
for brevity's sake. The calculated <varname>msec</varname>
|
||
integer can be passed directly as
|
||
<function>poll()</function>'s timeout
|
||
parameter.</para>

|

<para>On success,

<function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>
|
||
return 0 or a positive integer. On success,
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> returns
|
||
a Unix file descriptor. On success,
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
|
||
returns a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>,
|
||
<constant>POLLOUT</constant> and suchlike. On failure,
|
||
these calls return a negative errno-style error
|
||
code.</para>
|

|

<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>
|

always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
