+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> 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 <constant>NULL</constant>,
+ in case only one of the parameters shall be queried. 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_seat_get_sessions()</function> may be used to determine all sessions on the specified
+ seat. Returns two arrays, one (<constant>NULL</constant> 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
+ <constant>NULL</constant> in case these output values are not needed. The arrays and the strings
+ referenced by them need to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> call after
+ use. Note that instead of an empty array <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be
+ considered equivalent to an empty array.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
+ is useful as a text console.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_can_graphical()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality,
+ i.e. is useful as a graphics display.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <varname>seat</varname> parameter of any of these
+ functions is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>, the operation is
+ executed for the seat of the session of the calling process, if
+ there is any.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para> On success, <function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> returns 0 or a positive integer. On success,
+ <function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> returns the number of entries in the session identifier
+ array. If the test succeeds,
+ <function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> and <function>sd_seat_can_graphical()</function> return a positive
+ integer, if it fails 0. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
