+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBsd_seat_get_active()\fR
+may be used to determine which session is currently active on a seat, if there is any\&. Returns the session identifier and the user identifier of the Unix user the session is belonging to\&. Either the session or the user identifier parameter can be passed
+\fBNULL\fR, in case only one of the parameters shall be queried\&. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc
+\fBfree\fR(3)
+call after use\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_seat_get_sessions()\fR
+may be used to determine all sessions on the specified seat\&. Returns two arrays, one (\fBNULL\fR
+terminated) with the session identifiers of the sessions and one with the user identifiers of the Unix users the sessions belong to\&. An additional parameter may be used to return the number of entries in the latter array\&. This value is the same as the return value if the return value is nonnegative\&. The output parameters may be passed as
+\fBNULL\fR
+in case these output values are not needed\&. The arrays and the strings referenced by them need to be freed with the libc
+\fBfree\fR(3)
+call after use\&. Note that instead of an empty array
+\fBNULL\fR
+may be returned and should be considered equivalent to an empty array\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_seat_can_tty()\fR
+may be used to determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i\&.e\&. is useful as a text console\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_seat_can_graphical()\fR
+may be used to determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality, i\&.e\&. is useful as a graphics display\&.
+.PP
+If the
+\fIseat\fR
+parameter of any of these functions is passed as
+\fBNULL\fR, the operation is executed for the seat of the session of the calling process, if there is any\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+On success,
+\fBsd_seat_get_active()\fR
+returns 0 or a positive integer\&. On success,
+\fBsd_seat_get_sessions()\fR
+returns the number of entries in the session identifier array\&. If the test succeeds,
+\fBsd_seat_can_tty()\fR
+and
+\fBsd_seat_can_graphical()\fR
+return a positive integer, if it fails 0\&. On failure, these calls return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
+.SS "Errors"
+.PP
+Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
+.PP
+\fB\-ENODATA\fR
+.RS 4
+The given field is not specified for the described seat\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-ENXIO\fR
+.RS 4
+The specified seat is unknown\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-EINVAL\fR
+.RS 4
+An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or
+\fBNULL\fR, where that is not accepted)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-ENOMEM\fR
+.RS 4
+Memory allocation failed\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the
+\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
+file\&.
+.PP
+The code described here uses
+\fBgetenv\fR(3), which is declared to be not multi\-thread\-safe\&. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call
+\fBsetenv\fR(3)
+from a parallel thread\&. It is recommended to only do calls to
+\fBsetenv()\fR
+from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started\&.
+.SH "HISTORY"
+.PP
+\fBsd_seat_can_tty()\fR
+and
+\fBsd_seat_can_graphical()\fR
+were added in version 186\&.
