+ is a system service that keeps track of user logins and seats.</para>
+
+ <para>The daemon provides both a C library interface as well as a D-Bus interface. The library interface
+ may be used to introspect and watch the state of user logins and seats. The bus interface provides the
+ same functionality but in addition may also be used to make changes to the system state. For more information please
+ consult <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+ <title>Methods</title>
+
+ <para><function>GetSession()</function> may be used to get the session object path for the session with
+ the specified ID. Similarly, <function>GetUser()</function> and <function>GetSeat()</function> get the
+ user and seat objects, respectively. <function>GetSessionByPID()</function> and
+ <function>GetUserByPID()</function> get the session/user object the specified PID belongs to if there
+ is any.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ListSessions()</function> returns an array of all current sessions. The structures in
+ the array consist of the following fields: session id, user id, user name, seat id, session object
+ path. If a session does not have a seat attached, the seat id field will be an empty string.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ListUsers()</function> returns an array of all currently logged in users. The
+ structures in the array consist of the following fields: user id, user name, user object path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ListSeats()</function> returns an array of all currently available seats. The
+ structure in the array consists of the following fields: seat id, seat object path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ListInhibitors()</function> lists all currently active inhibitors. It returns an array of
+ structures consisting of <varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>,
+ <varname>mode</varname>, <varname>uid</varname> (user ID), and <varname>pid</varname> (process ID).</para>
+
+ <para><function>CreateSession()</function> and <function>ReleaseSession()</function> may be used to
+ open or close login sessions. These calls should <emphasis>never</emphasis> be invoked directly by
+ clients. Creating/closing sessions is exclusively the job of PAM and its
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ module.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ActivateSession()</function> brings the session with the specified ID into the
+ foreground. <function>ActivateSessionOnSeat()</function> does the same, but only if the seat id
+ matches.</para>
+
+ <para><function>LockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to activate the screen
+ lock. <function>UnlockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to remove an active
+ screen lock, if there is any. This is implemented by sending out the Lock() and Unlock() signals from
+ the respective session object which session managers are supposed to listen on.</para>
+
+ <para><function>LockSessions()</function> asks all sessions to activate their screen locks. This may be
+ used to lock access to the entire machine in one action. Similarly, <function>UnlockSessions()</function>
+ asks all sessions to deactivate their screen locks.</para>
+
+ <para><function>KillSession()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to one or all processes of a
+ session. As arguments it takes the session id, either the string <literal>leader</literal> or
+ <literal>all</literal> and a signal number. If <literal>leader</literal> is passed only the session
+ <literal>leader</literal> is killed. If <literal>all</literal> is passed all processes of the session
+ are killed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>KillUser()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to all processes of a user. As
+ arguments it takes the user id and a signal number.</para>
+
+ <para><function>TerminateSession()</function>, <function>TerminateUser()</function>,
+ <function>TerminateSeat()</function> may be used to forcibly terminate one specific session, all
+ processes of a user, and all sessions attached to a specific seat, respectively. The session, user,
+ and seat are identified by their respective IDs.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetUserLinger()</function> enables or disables user lingering. If enabled, the runtime
+ directory of a user is kept around and they may continue to run processes while logged out. If
+ disabled, the runtime directory goes away as soon as they log out. <function>SetUserLinger()</function>
+ expects three arguments: the UID, a boolean whether to enable/disable and a boolean controlling the
+ <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/">polkit</ulink>
+ authorization interactivity (see below). Note that the user linger state is persistently
+ stored on disk.</para>
+
+ <para><function>AttachDevice()</function> may be used to assign a specific device to a specific
+ seat. The device is identified by its <filename>/sys/</filename> path and must be eligible for seat
+ assignments. <function>AttachDevice()</function> takes three arguments: the seat id, the sysfs path,
+ and a boolean for controlling polkit interactivity (see below). Device assignments are persistently

+ <para><function>FlushDevices()</function> removes all explicit seat assignments for devices, resetting

+ boolean (see below).</para>
+
+ <para><function>PowerOff()</function>, <function>Reboot()</function>, <function>Halt()</function>,
+ <function>Suspend()</function>, and <function>Hibernate()</function> result in the system being powered
+ off, rebooted, halted (shut down without turning off power), suspended (the system state is
+ saved to RAM and the CPU is turned off), or hibernated (the system state is saved to disk and
+ the machine is powered down). <function>HybridSleep()</function> results in the system entering a
+ hybrid-sleep mode, i.e. the system is both hibernated and suspended.
+ <function>SuspendThenHibernate()</function> results in the system being suspended, then later woken
+ using an RTC timer and hibernated. The only argument is the polkit interactivity boolean
+ <varname>interactive</varname> (see below). The main purpose of these calls is that they enforce
+ polkit policy and hence allow powering off/rebooting/suspending/hibernating even by unprivileged
+ users. They also enforce inhibition locks for non-privileged users. UIs should expose these calls
+ as the primary mechanism to poweroff/reboot/suspend/hibernate the machine. Methods
+ <function>PowerOffWithFlags()</function>, <function>RebootWithFlags()</function>,
+ <function>HaltWithFlags()</function>, <function>SuspendWithFlags()</function>,
+ <function>HibernateWithFlags()</function>, <function>HybridSleepWithFlags()</function> and

+#define SD_LOGIND_KEXEC_REBOOT (UINT64_C(1) &lt;&lt; 1)
+ </programlisting>
+ <para> When the <varname>flags</varname> is 0 then these methods behave just like the versions
+ without flags. When <constant>SD_LOGIND_ROOT_CHECK_INHIBITORS</constant> (0x01) is set, active
+ inhibitors are honoured for privileged users too. When <constant>SD_LOGIND_KEXEC_REBOOT</constant>
+ (0x02) is set, then <function>RebootWithFlags()</function> perform kexec reboot if kexec
+ kernel is loaded.</para>

+ <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>, and <literal>challenge</literal>. If
+ <literal>na</literal> is returned, the operation is not available because hardware, kernel, or drivers
+ do not support it. If <literal>yes</literal> is returned, the operation is supported and the user may
+ execute the operation without further authentication. If <literal>no</literal> is returned, the
+ operation is available but the user is not allowed to execute the operation. If
+ <literal>challenge</literal> is returned, the operation is available but only after
+ authorization.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ScheduleShutdown()</function> schedules a shutdown operation <varname>type</varname> at

+ <literal>dry-</literal> variants do not actually execute the shutdown action.)
+ <function>CancelScheduledShutdown()</function> cancels a scheduled shutdown. The output parameter
+ <varname>cancelled</varname> is true if a shutdown operation was scheduled.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetWallMessage()</function> sets the wall message (the message that will be sent out to
+ all terminals and stored in a
+ <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>utmp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> record) for a
+ subsequent scheduled shutdown operation. The parameter <varname>wall_message</varname> specifies the
+ shutdown reason (and may be empty) which will be included in the shutdown message. The parameter
+ <varname>enable</varname> specifies whether to print a wall message on shutdown.</para>
+
+ <para><function>Inhibit()</function> creates an inhibition lock. It takes four parameters:
+ <varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>, and
+ <varname>mode</varname>. <varname>what</varname> is one or more of <literal>shutdown</literal>,

+ <literal>handle-suspend-key</literal>, <literal>handle-hibernate-key</literal>,
+ <literal>handle-lid-switch</literal>, separated by colons, for inhibiting poweroff/reboot,
+ suspend/hibernate, the automatic idle logic, or hardware key handling. <varname>who</varname> should be
+ a short human readable string identifying the application taking the lock. <varname>why</varname>
+ should be a short human readable string identifying the reason why the lock is taken. Finally,
+ <varname>mode</varname> is either <literal>block</literal> or <literal>delay</literal> which encodes
+ whether the inhibit shall be consider mandatory or whether it should just delay the operation to a
+ certain maximum time. The method returns a file descriptor. The lock is released the moment this file
+ descriptor and all its duplicates are closed. For more information on the inhibition logic see

+ <title>Methods</title>
+
+ <para><function>Terminate()</function>, <function>Activate()</function>, <function>Lock()</function>,
+ <function>Unlock()</function>, and <function>Kill()</function> work similarly to the respective calls on
+ the <interfacename>Manager</interfacename> object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetIdleHint()</function> is called by the session object to update the idle state
+ of the session whenever it changes.</para>
+
+ <para><function>TakeControl()</function> allows a process to take exclusive managed device
+ access-control for that session. Only one D-Bus connection can be a controller for a given session at any
+ time. If the <varname>force</varname> argument is set (root only), an existing controller is kicked
+ out and replaced. Otherwise, this method fails if there is already a controller. Note that this method is
+ limited to D-Bus users with the effective UID set to the user of the session or root.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ReleaseControl()</function> drops control of a given session. Closing the D-Bus
+ connection implicitly releases control as well. See <function>TakeControl()</function> for more
+ information. This method also releases all devices for which the controller requested ownership via
+ <function>TakeDevice()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetType()</function> allows the type of the session to be changed dynamically. It can
+ only be called by session's current controller. If <function>TakeControl()</function> has not been
+ called, this method will fail. In addition, the session type will be reset to its original value once
+ control is released, either by calling <function>ReleaseControl()</function> or closing the D-Bus
+ connection. This should help prevent a session from entering an inconsistent state, for example if the
+ controller crashes. The only argument <varname>type</varname> is the new session type.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetDisplay()</function> allows the display name of the graphical session to be changed. This is
+ useful if the display server is started as part of the session. It can only be called by session's current
+ controller. If <function>TakeControl()</function> has not been called, this method will fail. The only argument
+ <varname>display</varname> is the new display name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>TakeDevice()</function> allows a session controller to get a file descriptor for a
+ specific device. Pass in the major and minor numbers of the character device and
+ <filename>systemd-logind</filename> will return a file descriptor for the device. Only a limited set of
+ device-types is currently supported (but may be extended). <filename>systemd-logind</filename>
+ automatically mutes the file descriptor if the session is inactive and resumes it once the session is
+ activated again. This guarantees that a session can only access session devices if the session is
+ active. Note that this revoke/resume mechanism is asynchronous and may happen at any given time. This
+ only works on devices that are attached to the seat of the given session. A process is not required to
+ have direct access to the device node. <filename>systemd-logind</filename> only requires you to be the
+ active session controller (see <function>TakeControl()</function>). Also note that any device can only
+ be requested once. As long as you don't release it, further <function>TakeDevice()</function> calls
+ will fail.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ReleaseDevice()</function> releases a device again (see
+ <function>TakeDevice()</function>). This is also implicitly done by
+ <function>ReleaseControl()</function> or when closing the D-Bus connection.</para>
+
+ <para><function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function> allows a session controller to synchronously pause a
+ device after receiving a <function>PauseDevice(<literal>pause</literal>)</function> signal. Forced
+ signals (or after an internal timeout) are automatically completed by
+ <filename>systemd-logind</filename> asynchronously.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetLockedHint()</function> may be used to set the "locked hint" to
+ <varname>locked</varname>, i.e. information whether the session is locked. This is intended to be used
+ by the desktop environment to tell <command>systemd-logind</command> when the session is locked and
+ unlocked.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetBrightness()</function> may be used to set the display brightness. This is intended
+ to be used by the desktop environment and allows unprivileged programs to access hardware settings in
+ a controlled way. The <varname>subsystem</varname> parameter specifies a kernel subsystem, either
+ <literal>backlight</literal> or <literal>leds</literal>. The <varname>name</varname> parameter
+ specifies a device name under the specified subsystem. The <varname>brightness</varname> parameter
+ specifies the brightness. The range is defined by individual drivers, see
+ <filename>/sys/class/<varname>subsystem</varname>/<varname>name</varname>/max_brightness</filename>.
+ </para>

+ <title>Signals</title>
+
+ <para>The active session controller exclusively gets <function>PauseDevice</function> and
+ <function>ResumeDevice</function> events for any device it requested via
+ <function>TakeDevice()</function>. They notify the controller whenever a device is paused or resumed. A
+ device is never resumed if its session is inactive. Also note that <function>PauseDevice</function>
+ signals are sent before the <function>PropertyChanged</function> signal for the
+ <function>Active</function> state. The inverse is true for <function>ResumeDevice</function>. A device
+ may remain paused for unknown reasons even though the <interfacename>Session</interfacename> is active.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>A <function>PauseDevice</function> signal carries the major and minor numbers and a string describing the
+ type as arguments. <function>force</function> means the device was already paused by
+ <filename>systemd-logind</filename> and the signal is only an asynchronous
+ notification. <function>pause</function> means <filename>systemd-logind</filename> grants you a limited amount of time to pause the device. You must respond to this via
+ <function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function>. This synchronous pausing mechanism is used for
+ backwards-compatibility to VTs and <filename>systemd-logind</filename> is free to not make use of
+ it. It is also free to send a forced <function>PauseDevice</function> if you don't respond in a timely
+ manner (or for any other reason). <function>gone</function> means the device was unplugged from the
+ system and you will no longer get any notifications about it. There is no need to call
+ <function>ReleaseDevice()</function>. You may call <function>TakeDevice()</function> again if a new
+ device is assigned the major+minor combination.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ResumeDevice</function> is sent whenever a session is active and a device is
+ resumed. It carries the major/minor numbers as arguments and provides a new open file descriptor. You should
+ switch to the new descriptor and close the old one. They are not guaranteed to have the same underlying
+ open file descriptor in the kernel (except for a limited set of device types).</para>
+
+ <para>Whenever <function>Active</function> or the idle state changes,
+ <function>PropertyChanged</function> signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para>
+
+ <para><function>Lock</function>/<function>Unlock</function> is sent when the session is asked to be
+ screen-locked/unlocked. A session manager of the session should listen to this signal and act
+ accordingly. This signal is sent out as a result of the <function>Lock()</function> and
+ <function>Unlock()</function> methods, respectively.</para>
