286      <title>Methods</title>
287
288      <para><function>GetMachine()</function> may be used to get the machine object path for the machine with
289      the specified name. Similarly, <function>GetMachineByPID()</function> gets the machine object the
290      specified PID belongs to if there is any.</para>
291
292      <para><function>GetImage()</function> may be used to get the image object path of the image with the
293      specified name.</para>
294
295      <para><function>ListMachines()</function> returns an array of all currently registered machines. The
296      structures in the array consist of the following fields: machine name, machine class, an identifier for
297      the service that registered the machine and the machine object path.</para>
298
299      <para><function>ListImages()</function> returns an array of all currently known images. The
300      structures in the array consist of the following fields: image name, type, read-only flag, creation
301      time, modification time, current disk space, and image object path.</para>
302
303      <para><function>CreateMachine()</function> may be used to register a new virtual machine or container
304      with <command>systemd-machined</command>, creating a scope unit for it. It accepts the following arguments: a
305      machine name chosen by the registrar, an optional UUID as a 32 byte array, a string that identifies the
306      service that registers the machine, a class string, the PID of the leader process of the machine, an
307      optional root directory of the container, and an array of additional properties to use for the scope
308      registration. The virtual machine name must be suitable as a hostname, and hence should follow the usual
309      DNS hostname rules, as well as the Linux hostname restrictions. Specifically, only 7 bit ASCII is
310      permitted, a maximum length of 64 characters is enforced, only characters from the set
311      <literal>a-zA-Z0-9-_.</literal> are allowed, the name may not begin with a dot, and it may not contain
312      two dots immediately following each other. Container and VM managers should ideally use the hostname
313      used internally in the machine for this parameter. This recommendation is made in order to make the
314      machine name naturally resolvable using
315      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-mymachines</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
316      a container manager needs to embed characters outside of the indicated range, escaping is required,
317      possibly using <literal>_</literal> as the escape character. Another (somewhat natural) option would be
318      to utilize Internet IDNA encoding. The UUID is passed as a 32 byte array or, if no suitable UUID is
319      available, an empty array (zero length) or zeroed out array shall be passed. The UUID should identify
320      the virtual machine/container uniquely and should ideally be the same UUID that
321      <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> in the VM/container is initialized from. The service string can be
322      free-form, but it is recommended to pass a short lowercase identifier like
323      <literal>systemd-nspawn</literal>, <literal>libvirt-lxc</literal> or similar. The class string should
324      be either <literal>container</literal> or <literal>vm</literal> indicating whether the machine to
325      register is of the respective class. The leader PID should be the host PID of the init process of the
326      container or the encapsulating process of the VM. If the root directory of the container is known and
327      available in the host's hierarchy, it should be passed. Otherwise, pass the empty string instead. Finally, the
328      scope properties are passed as array in the same way as to PID1's
329      <function>StartTransientUnit()</function> method. Calling this method will internally register a transient scope
330      unit for the calling client (utilizing the passed scope_properties) and move the leader PID into
331      it. The method returns an object path for the registered machine object that implements the
332      <interfacename>org.freedesktop.machine1.Machine</interfacename> interface (see below). Also see the
333      <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/">New Control Group
334      Interfaces</ulink> for details about scope units and how to alter resource control settings on the
335      created machine at runtime.</para>
336
337      <para><function>RegisterMachine()</function> is similar to <function>CreateMachine()</function>.
338      However, it only registers a machine and does not create a scope unit for it. Instead, the caller's unit is
339      registered. We recommend to only use this method for container or VM managers that are run
340      multiple times, one instance for each container/VM they manage, and are invoked as system
341      services.</para>
342
343      <para><function>CreateMachineWithNetwork()</function> and
344      <function>RegisterMachineWithNetwork()</function> are similar to <function>CreateMachine()</function>
345      and <function>RegisterMachine()</function> but take an extra argument: an array of network interface
346      indices that point towards the virtual machine or container. The interface indices should reference one
347      or more network interfaces on the host that can be used to communicate with the guest. Commonly, the
348      passed interface index refers to the host side of a "veth" link (in case of containers), a
349      "tun"/"tap" link (in case of VMs), or the host side of a bridge interface that bridges access to the
350      VM/container interfaces. Specifying this information is useful to enable support for link-local IPv6
351      communication to the machines since the scope field of sockaddr_in6 can be initialized by the
352      specified ifindex.

354      makes use of this information.</para>
355
356      <para><function>KillMachine()</function> sends a UNIX signal to the machine's processes. As its arguments, it takes a
357      machine name (as originally passed to <function>CreateMachine()</function> or returned by
358      <function>ListMachines()</function>), an identifier that specifies what precisely to send the signal to (either
359      <literal>leader</literal> or <literal>all</literal>), and a numeric UNIX signal integer.</para>
360
361      <para><function>TerminateMachine()</function> terminates a virtual machine, killing its processes. It
362      takes a machine name as its only argument.</para>
363
364      <para><function>GetMachineAddresses()</function> retrieves the IP addresses of a container. This method
365      returns an array of pairs consisting of an address family specifier (<constant>AF_INET</constant> or
366      <constant>AF_INET6</constant>) and a byte array containing the addresses. This is only supported for
367      containers that make use of network namespacing.</para>
368
369      <para><function>GetMachineOSRelease()</function> retrieves the OS release information of a
370      container. This method returns an array of key value pairs read from the
371      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file in
372      the container and is useful to identify the operating system used in a container.</para>
373
374      <para><function>OpenMachinePTY()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container and returns a file
375      descriptor and its path. This is equivalent to transitioning into the container and invoking
376      <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>posix_openpt</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
377      </para>
378
379      <para><function>OpenMachineLogin()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container and ensures that
380      a getty login prompt of the container is running on the other end. It returns the file descriptor of
381      the PTY and the PTY path. This is useful for acquiring a pty with a login prompt from the
382      container.</para>
383
384      <para><function>OpenMachineShell()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container, as the specified
385      user, and invokes the executable at the specified path with a list of arguments (starting from
386      argv[0]) and an environment block. It then returns the file descriptor of the PTY and the PTY
387      path.</para>
388
389      <para><function>BindMountMachine()</function> bind mounts a file or directory from the host into the
390      container. Its arguments consist of a machine name, the source directory on the host, the destination directory in the
391      container, and two booleans, one indicating whether the bind mount shall be
392      read-only, the other indicating whether the destination mount point shall be created first, if it is
393      missing.</para>
394
395      <para><function>CopyFromMachine()</function> copies files or directories from a container into the
396      host. It takes a container name, a source directory in the container and a destination directory on the
397      host as arguments. <function>CopyToMachine()</function> does the opposite and copies files from a source
398      directory on the host into a destination directory in the container.</para>
399
400      <para><function>RemoveImage()</function> removes the image with the specified name.</para>
401
402      <para><function>RenameImage()</function> renames the specified image.</para>
403
404      <para><function>CloneImage()</function> clones the specified image under a new name. It also takes a
405      boolean argument indicating whether the resulting image shall be read-only or not.</para>
406
407      <para><function>MarkImageReadOnly()</function> toggles the read-only flag of an image.</para>
408
409      <para><function>SetPoolLimit()</function> sets an overall quota limit on the pool of images.</para>
410
411      <para><function>SetImageLimit()</function> sets a per-image quota limit.</para>
412
413      <para><function>MapFromMachineUser()</function>, <function>MapToMachineUser()</function>,
414      <function>MapFromMachineGroup()</function>, and <function>MapToMachineGroup()</function> may be used to map
415      UIDs/GIDs from the host user namespace to a container user namespace or vice versa.</para>
