systemd sd_machine_get_class 3 sd_machine_get_class sd_machine_get_ifindices Determine the class and network interface indices of a locally running virtual machine or container #include <systemd/sd-login.h> int sd_machine_get_class const char* machine char **class int sd_machine_get_ifindices const char* machine int **ret_ifindices sd_machine_get_class() may be used to determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or container that is registered with systemd-machined.service8. The string returned is either vm or container. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free3 call after use. sd_machine_get_ifindices() may be used to determine the numeric indices of the network interfaces on the host that are pointing towards the specified locally running virtual machine or container. The vm or container must be registered with systemd-machined.service8. The output parameter ret_ifindices may be passed as NULL when the output value is not needed. The returned array needs to be freed with the libc free3 call after use. On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. sd_machine_get_ifindices() returns the number of the relevant network interfaces. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code. Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -ENXIO The specified machine does not exist or is currently not running. -EINVAL An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where that is not accepted). -ENOMEM Memory allocation failed. sd_machine_get_class() and sd_machine_get_ifindices() were added in version 217. systemd1 sd-login3 systemd-machined.service8 sd_pid_get_machine_name3
