I am pretty sure we shouldn't carry history sections in man pages, since it's very hard to keep them correctly updated, the current ones are very out-of-date, and they tend to make APIs appear unnecessarily complex.

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine the login state of a specific Unix user identifier. The
|
||
following states are currently known: <literal>offline</literal>
|
||
(user not logged in at all), <literal>lingering</literal> (user
|
||
not logged in, but some user services running),
|
||
<literal>online</literal> (user logged in, but not active, i.e.
|
||
has no session in the foreground), <literal>active</literal> (user
|
||
logged in, and has at least one active session, i.e. one session
|
||
in the foreground), <literal>closing</literal> (user not logged
|
||
in, and not lingering, but some processes are still around). In
|
||
the future additional states might be defined, client code should
|
||
be written to be robust in regards to additional state strings
|
||
being returned. The returned string needs to be freed with the
|
||
libc
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
call after use.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine whether a specific user is logged in or active on a
|
||
specific seat. Accepts a Unix user identifier and a seat
|
||
identifier string as parameters. The
|
||
<parameter>require_active</parameter> parameter is a boolean
|
||
value. If non-zero (true), this function will test if the user is
|
||
active (i.e. has a session that is in the foreground and accepting
|
||
user input) on the specified seat, otherwise (false) only if the
|
||
user is logged in (and possibly inactive) on the specified
|
||
seat.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine the current sessions of the specified user. Accepts a
|
||
Unix user identifier as parameter. The
|
||
<parameter>require_active</parameter> parameter controls whether
|
||
the returned list shall consist of only those sessions where the
|
||
user is currently active (> 0), where the user is currently
|
||
online but possibly inactive (= 0), or logged in at all but
|
||
possibly closing the session (< 0). The call returns a
|
||
<constant>NULL</constant> terminated string array of session
|
||
identifiers in <parameter>sessions</parameter> which needs to be
|
||
freed by the caller with the libc
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
call after use, including all the strings referenced. If the
|
||
string array parameter is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>, the
|
||
array will not be filled in, but the return code still indicates
|
||
the number of current sessions. Note that instead of an empty
|
||
array <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be
|
||
considered equivalent to an empty array.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function> may be
|
||
used to determine the list of seats on which the user currently
|
||
has sessions. Similar semantics apply, however note that the user
|
||
may have multiple sessions on the same seat as well as sessions
|
||
with no attached seat and hence the number of entries in the
|
||
returned array may differ from the one returned by
|
||
<function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_uid_get_display()</function> returns the name
|
||
of the "primary" session of a user. If the user has graphical
|
||
sessions, it will be the oldest graphical session. Otherwise, it
|
||
will be the oldest open session.</para>

|
||
<title>Return Value</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>On success, <function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> returns
|
||
0 or a positive integer. If the test succeeds,
|
||
<function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> returns a positive
|
||
integer; if it fails, 0.
|
||
<function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function> return the number of
|
||
entries in the returned arrays.
|
||
<function>sd_uid_get_display()</function> returns a non-negative
|
||
code on success. On failure, these calls return a negative
|
||
errno-style error code.</para>
