is a system service that keeps track of user logins and seats.</para>
<para>The daemon provides both a C library interface as well as a D-Bus interface. The library interface
may be used to introspect and watch the state of user logins and seats. The bus interface provides the
same functionality but in addition may also be used to make changes to the system state. For more information please
consult <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>Methods</title>
<para><function>GetSession()</function> may be used to get the session object path for the session with
the specified ID. Similarly, <function>GetUser()</function> and <function>GetSeat()</function> get the
user and seat objects, respectively. <function>GetSessionByPID()</function> and
<function>GetUserByPID()</function> get the session/user object the specified PID belongs to if there
is any.</para>
<para><function>ListSessions()</function> returns an array of all current sessions. The structures in
the array consist of the following fields: session id, user id, user name, seat id, session object
path. If a session does not have a seat attached, the seat id field will be an empty string.</para>
<para><function>ListUsers()</function> returns an array of all currently logged in users. The
structures in the array consist of the following fields: user id, user name, user object path.</para>
<para><function>ListSeats()</function> returns an array of all currently available seats. The
structure in the array consists of the following fields: seat id, seat object path.</para>
<para><function>ListInhibitors()</function> lists all currently active inhibitors. It returns an array of
structures consisting of <varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>,
<varname>mode</varname>, <varname>uid</varname> (user ID), and <varname>pid</varname> (process ID).</para>
<para><function>CreateSession()</function> and <function>ReleaseSession()</function> may be used to
open or close login sessions. These calls should <emphasis>never</emphasis> be invoked directly by
clients. Creating/closing sessions is exclusively the job of PAM and its
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
module.</para>
<para><function>ActivateSession()</function> brings the session with the specified ID into the
foreground. <function>ActivateSessionOnSeat()</function> does the same, but only if the seat id
matches.</para>
<para><function>LockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to activate the screen
lock. <function>UnlockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to remove an active
screen lock, if there is any. This is implemented by sending out the Lock() and Unlock() signals from
the respective session object which session managers are supposed to listen on.</para>
<para><function>LockSessions()</function> asks all sessions to activate their screen locks. This may be
used to lock access to the entire machine in one action. Similarly, <function>UnlockSessions()</function>
asks all sessions to deactivate their screen locks.</para>
<para><function>KillSession()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to one or all processes of a
session. As arguments it takes the session id, either the string <literal>leader</literal> or
<literal>all</literal> and a signal number. If <literal>leader</literal> is passed only the session
<literal>leader</literal> is killed. If <literal>all</literal> is passed all processes of the session
are killed.</para>
<para><function>KillUser()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to all processes of a user. As
arguments it takes the user id and a signal number.</para>
<para><function>TerminateSession()</function>, <function>TerminateUser()</function>,
<function>TerminateSeat()</function> may be used to forcibly terminate one specific session, all
processes of a user, and all sessions attached to a specific seat, respectively. The session, user,
and seat are identified by their respective IDs.</para>
<para><function>SetUserLinger()</function> enables or disables user lingering. If enabled, the runtime
directory of a user is kept around and they may continue to run processes while logged out. If
disabled, the runtime directory goes away as soon as they log out. <function>SetUserLinger()</function>
expects three arguments: the UID, a boolean whether to enable/disable and a boolean controlling the
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/">polkit</ulink>
authorization interactivity (see below). Note that the user linger state is persistently
stored on disk.</para>
<para><function>AttachDevice()</function> may be used to assign a specific device to a specific
seat. The device is identified by its <filename>/sys/</filename> path and must be eligible for seat
assignments. <function>AttachDevice()</function> takes three arguments: the seat id, the sysfs path,
and a boolean for controlling polkit interactivity (see below). Device assignments are persistently
stored on disk. To create a new seat, simply specify a previously unused seat id. For more information
about the seat assignment logic see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para><function>FlushDevices()</function> removes all explicit seat assignments for devices, resetting
all assignments to the automatic defaults. The only argument it takes is the polkit interactivity
boolean (see below).</para>
<para><function>PowerOff()</function>, <function>Reboot()</function>, <function>Halt()</function>,
<function>Suspend()</function>, and <function>Hibernate()</function> result in the system being powered
off, rebooted, halted (shut down without turning off power), suspended (the system state is
saved to RAM and the CPU is turned off), or hibernated (the system state is saved to disk and
the machine is powered down). <function>HybridSleep()</function> results in the system entering a
hybrid-sleep mode, i.e. the system is both hibernated and suspended.
<function>SuspendThenHibernate()</function> results in the system being suspended, then later woken
using an RTC timer and hibernated. The only argument is the polkit interactivity boolean
<varname>interactive</varname> (see below). The main purpose of these calls is that they enforce
polkit policy and hence allow powering off/rebooting/suspending/hibernating even by unprivileged
users. They also enforce inhibition locks for non-privileged users. UIs should expose these calls
as the primary mechanism to poweroff/reboot/suspend/hibernate the machine. Methods
<function>PowerOffWithFlags()</function>, <function>RebootWithFlags()</function>,
<function>HaltWithFlags()</function>, <function>SuspendWithFlags()</function>,
<function>HibernateWithFlags()</function>, <function>HybridSleepWithFlags()</function> and
<function>SuspendThenHibernateWithFlags()</function> add <varname>flags</varname> to allow for
extendability, defined as follows:</para>
<programlisting>
#define SD_LOGIND_ROOT_CHECK_INHIBITORS (UINT64_C(1) &lt;&lt; 0)
#define SD_LOGIND_KEXEC_REBOOT (UINT64_C(1) &lt;&lt; 1)
</programlisting>
<para> When the <varname>flags</varname> is 0 then these methods behave just like the versions
without flags. When <constant>SD_LOGIND_ROOT_CHECK_INHIBITORS</constant> (0x01) is set, active
inhibitors are honoured for privileged users too. When <constant>SD_LOGIND_KEXEC_REBOOT</constant>
(0x02) is set, then <function>RebootWithFlags()</function> perform kexec reboot if kexec
kernel is loaded.</para>
<para><function>SetRebootParameter()</function> sets a parameter for a subsequent reboot operation.
See the description of <command>reboot</command> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>reboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>
<para><function>SetRebootToFirmwareSetup()</function>,
<function>SetRebootToBootLoaderMenu()</function>, and <function>SetRebootToBootLoaderEntry()</function>
configure the action to be taken from the boot loader after a reboot: respectively entering firmware
setup mode, the boot loader menu, or a specific boot loader entry. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for the
corresponding command line interface.</para>
<para><function>CanPowerOff()</function>, <function>CanReboot()</function>,
<function>CanHalt()</function>, <function>CanSuspend()</function>, <function>CanHibernate()</function>,
<function>CanHybridSleep()</function>, <function>CanSuspendThenHibernate()</function>,
<function>CanRebootParameter()</function>, <function>CanRebootToFirmwareSetup()</function>,
<function>CanRebootToBootLoaderMenu()</function>, and
<function>CanRebootToBootLoaderEntry()</function> test whether the system supports the respective
operation and whether the calling user is allowed to execute it. Returns one of <literal>na</literal>,
<literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>, and <literal>challenge</literal>. If
<literal>na</literal> is returned, the operation is not available because hardware, kernel, or drivers
do not support it. If <literal>yes</literal> is returned, the operation is supported and the user may
execute the operation without further authentication. If <literal>no</literal> is returned, the
operation is available but the user is not allowed to execute the operation. If
<literal>challenge</literal> is returned, the operation is available but only after
authorization.</para>
<para><function>ScheduleShutdown()</function> schedules a shutdown operation <varname>type</varname> at
time <varname>usec</varname> in microseconds since the UNIX epoch. <varname>type</varname> can be one
of <literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>dry-poweroff</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal>,
<literal>dry-reboot</literal>, <literal>halt</literal>, and <literal>dry-halt</literal>. (The
<literal>dry-</literal> variants do not actually execute the shutdown action.)
<function>CancelScheduledShutdown()</function> cancels a scheduled shutdown. The output parameter
<varname>cancelled</varname> is true if a shutdown operation was scheduled.</para>
<para><function>SetWallMessage()</function> sets the wall message (the message that will be sent out to
all terminals and stored in a
<citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>utmp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> record) for a
subsequent scheduled shutdown operation. The parameter <varname>wall_message</varname> specifies the
shutdown reason (and may be empty) which will be included in the shutdown message. The parameter
<varname>enable</varname> specifies whether to print a wall message on shutdown.</para>
<para><function>Inhibit()</function> creates an inhibition lock. It takes four parameters:
<varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>, and
<varname>mode</varname>. <varname>what</varname> is one or more of <literal>shutdown</literal>,
<literal>sleep</literal>, <literal>idle</literal>, <literal>handle-power-key</literal>,
<literal>handle-suspend-key</literal>, <literal>handle-hibernate-key</literal>,
<literal>handle-lid-switch</literal>, separated by colons, for inhibiting poweroff/reboot,
suspend/hibernate, the automatic idle logic, or hardware key handling. <varname>who</varname> should be
a short human readable string identifying the application taking the lock. <varname>why</varname>
should be a short human readable string identifying the reason why the lock is taken. Finally,
<varname>mode</varname> is either <literal>block</literal> or <literal>delay</literal> which encodes
whether the inhibit shall be consider mandatory or whether it should just delay the operation to a
certain maximum time. The method returns a file descriptor. The lock is released the moment this file
descriptor and all its duplicates are closed. For more information on the inhibition logic see
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit">Inhibitor Locks</ulink>.

<title>Signals</title>
<para>Whenever the inhibition state or idle hint changes, <function>PropertyChanged</function>
signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para>
<para>The <function>SessionNew</function>, <function>SessionRemoved</function>,
<function>UserNew</function>, <function>UserRemoved</function>, <function>SeatNew</function>, and
<function>SeatRemoved</function> signals are sent each time a session is created or removed, a user
logs in or out, or a seat is added or removed. They each contain the ID of the object plus the object
path.</para>
<para>The <function>PrepareForShutdown()</function> and <function>PrepareForSleep()</function> signals
are sent right before (with the argument <literal>true</literal>) or after (with the argument
<literal>false</literal>) the system goes down for reboot/poweroff and suspend/hibernate,
respectively. This may be used by applications to save data on disk, release memory, or do other jobs
that should be done shortly before shutdown/sleep, in conjunction with delay inhibitor locks. After
completion of this work they should release their inhibition locks in order to not delay the operation
any further. For more information see
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit">Inhibitor Locks</ulink>.

</para>
<para>The <varname>IdleHint</varname> property reflects the idle hint state of the system. If the
system is idle it might get into automatic suspend or shutdown depending on the configuration.</para>
<para><varname>IdleSinceHint</varname> and <varname>IdleSinceHintMonotonic</varname> encode the
timestamps of the last change of the idle hint boolean, in <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> and
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> timestamps, respectively, in microseconds since the epoch.</para>
<para>The <varname>BlockInhibited</varname> and <varname>DelayInhibited</varname> properties encode
the currently active locks of the respective modes. They are colon separated lists of
<literal>shutdown</literal>, <literal>sleep</literal>, and <literal>idle</literal> (see above).</para>
<para><varname>NCurrentSessions</varname> and <varname>NCurrentInhibitors</varname> contain the number
of currently registered sessions and inhibitors.</para>
<para>The <varname>BootLoaderEntries</varname> property contains a list of boot loader entries.
This includes boot loader entries defined in configuration and any additional loader entries
reported by the boot loader. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>
<para>The <varname>PreparingForShutdown</varname> and <varname>PreparingForSleep</varname> boolean
properties are true during the interval between the two <function>PrepareForShutdown</function> and
<function>PrepareForSleep</function> signals respectively. Note that these properties do not
send out <function>PropertyChanged</function> signals.</para>
<para>The <varname>RebootParameter</varname> property shows the value set with the
<function>SetRebootParameter()</function> method described above.</para>
<para><varname>ScheduledShutdown</varname> shows the value pair set with the
<function>ScheduleShutdown()</function> method described above.</para>
<para><varname>RebootToFirmwareSetup</varname>, <varname>RebootToBootLoaderMenu</varname>, and
<varname>RebootToBootLoaderEntry</varname> are true when the resprective post-reboot operation was
selected with <function>SetRebootToFirmwareSetup</function>,
<function>SetRebootToBootLoaderMenu</function>, or
<function>SetRebootToBootLoaderEntry</function>.</para>
<para>The <varname>WallMessage</varname> and <varname>EnableWallMessages</varname> properties reflect the
shutdown reason and wall message enablement switch which can be set with the
<function>SetWallMessage()</function> method described above.</para>
<para><varname>Docked</varname> is true if the machine is connected to a dock.
<varname>LidClosed</varname> is true when the lid (of a laptop) is closed.
<varname>OnExternalPower</varname> is true when the machine is connected to an external power supply.

<title>Methods</title>
<para><function>Terminate()</function>, <function>Activate()</function>, <function>Lock()</function>,
<function>Unlock()</function>, and <function>Kill()</function> work similarly to the respective calls on
the <interfacename>Manager</interfacename> object.</para>
<para><function>SetIdleHint()</function> is called by the session object to update the idle state
of the session whenever it changes.</para>
<para><function>TakeControl()</function> allows a process to take exclusive managed device
access-control for that session. Only one D-Bus connection can be a controller for a given session at any
time. If the <varname>force</varname> argument is set (root only), an existing controller is kicked
out and replaced. Otherwise, this method fails if there is already a controller. Note that this method is
limited to D-Bus users with the effective UID set to the user of the session or root.</para>
<para><function>ReleaseControl()</function> drops control of a given session. Closing the D-Bus
connection implicitly releases control as well. See <function>TakeControl()</function> for more
information. This method also releases all devices for which the controller requested ownership via
<function>TakeDevice()</function>.</para>
<para><function>SetType()</function> allows the type of the session to be changed dynamically. It can
only be called by session's current controller. If <function>TakeControl()</function> has not been
called, this method will fail. In addition, the session type will be reset to its original value once
control is released, either by calling <function>ReleaseControl()</function> or closing the D-Bus
connection. This should help prevent a session from entering an inconsistent state, for example if the
controller crashes. The only argument <varname>type</varname> is the new session type.</para>
<para><function>TakeDevice()</function> allows a session controller to get a file descriptor for a
specific device. Pass in the major and minor numbers of the character device and
<filename>systemd-logind</filename> will return a file descriptor for the device. Only a limited set of
device-types is currently supported (but may be extended). <filename>systemd-logind</filename>
automatically mutes the file descriptor if the session is inactive and resumes it once the session is
activated again. This guarantees that a session can only access session devices if the session is
active. Note that this revoke/resume mechanism is asynchronous and may happen at any given time. This
only works on devices that are attached to the seat of the given session. A process is not required to
have direct access to the device node. <filename>systemd-logind</filename> only requires you to be the
active session controller (see <function>TakeControl()</function>). Also note that any device can only
be requested once. As long as you don't release it, further <function>TakeDevice()</function> calls
will fail.</para>
<para><function>ReleaseDevice()</function> releases a device again (see
<function>TakeDevice()</function>). This is also implicitly done by
<function>ReleaseControl()</function> or when closing the D-Bus connection.</para>
<para><function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function> allows a session controller to synchronously pause a
device after receiving a <function>PauseDevice(<literal>pause</literal>)</function> signal. Forced
signals (or after an internal timeout) are automatically completed by
<filename>systemd-logind</filename> asynchronously.</para>
<para><function>SetLockedHint()</function> may be used to set the "locked hint" to
<varname>locked</varname>, i.e. information whether the session is locked. This is intended to be used
by the desktop environment to tell <command>systemd-logind</command> when the session is locked and
unlocked.</para>
<para><function>SetBrightness()</function> may be used to set the display brightness. This is intended
to be used by the desktop environment and allows unprivileged programs to access hardware settings in
a controlled way. The <varname>subsystem</varname> parameter specifies a kernel subsystem, either
<literal>backlight</literal> or <literal>leds</literal>. The <varname>name</varname> parameter
specifies a device name under the specified subsystem. The <varname>brightness</varname> parameter
specifies the brightness. The range is defined by individual drivers, see
<filename>/sys/class/<varname>subsystem</varname>/<varname>name</varname>/max_brightness</filename>.
</para>

<title>Signals</title>
<para>The active session controller exclusively gets <function>PauseDevice</function> and
<function>ResumeDevice</function> events for any device it requested via
<function>TakeDevice()</function>. They notify the controller whenever a device is paused or resumed. A
device is never resumed if its session is inactive. Also note that <function>PauseDevice</function>
signals are sent before the <function>PropertyChanged</function> signal for the
<function>Active</function> state. The inverse is true for <function>ResumeDevice</function>. A device
may remain paused for unknown reasons even though the <interfacename>Session</interfacename> is active.
</para>
<para>A <function>PauseDevice</function> signal carries the major and minor numbers and a string describing the
type as arguments. <function>force</function> means the device was already paused by
<filename>systemd-logind</filename> and the signal is only an asynchronous
notification. <function>pause</function> means <filename>systemd-logind</filename> grants you a limited amount of time to pause the device. You must respond to this via
<function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function>. This synchronous pausing mechanism is used for
backwards-compatibility to VTs and <filename>systemd-logind</filename> is free to not make use of
it. It is also free to send a forced <function>PauseDevice</function> if you don't respond in a timely
manner (or for any other reason). <function>gone</function> means the device was unplugged from the
system and you will no longer get any notifications about it. There is no need to call
<function>ReleaseDevice()</function>. You may call <function>TakeDevice()</function> again if a new
device is assigned the major+minor combination.</para>
<para><function>ResumeDevice</function> is sent whenever a session is active and a device is
resumed. It carries the major/minor numbers as arguments and provides a new open file descriptor. You should
switch to the new descriptor and close the old one. They are not guaranteed to have the same underlying
open file descriptor in the kernel (except for a limited set of device types).</para>
<para>Whenever <function>Active</function> or the idle state changes,
<function>PropertyChanged</function> signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para>
<para><function>Lock</function>/<function>Unlock</function> is sent when the session is asked to be
screen-locked/unlocked. A session manager of the session should listen to this signal and act
accordingly. This signal is sent out as a result of the <function>Lock()</function> and
<function>Unlock()</function> methods, respectively.</para>
