Description
sd_seat_get_active() 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 NULL,
in case only one of the parameters shall be queried. The returned
string needs to be freed with the libc
free3
call after use.
sd_seat_get_sessions() may be used to determine all sessions on the specified
seat. Returns two arrays, one (NULL 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
NULL in case these output values are not needed. The arrays and the strings
referenced by them need to be freed with the libc free3 call after
use. Note that instead of an empty array NULL may be returned and should be
considered equivalent to an empty array.
sd_seat_can_tty() may be used to
determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
is useful as a text console.
sd_seat_can_graphical() may be used to
determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality,
i.e. is useful as a graphics display.
If the seat parameter of any of these
functions is passed as NULL, the operation is
executed for the seat of the session of the calling process, if
there is any.
Return Value
On success, sd_seat_get_active() returns 0 or a positive integer. On success,
sd_seat_get_sessions() returns the number of entries in the session identifier
array. If the test succeeds,
sd_seat_can_tty() and sd_seat_can_graphical() return a positive
integer, if it fails 0. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-ENODATA
The given field is not specified for the described seat.
-ENXIO
The specified seat is unknown.
-EINVAL
An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where
that is not accepted).
-ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
History
sd_seat_can_tty() and
sd_seat_can_graphical() were added in version 186.
