55    <title>Description</title>
56
57    <para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used to determine
58    all currently available local seats. Returns the number of seat
59    identifiers and if the input pointer is non-<constant>NULL</constant>, a
60    <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of seat identifiers
61    is stored at the address.
62    The returned array and all strings it references need to be freed
63    with the libc
64    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
65    call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
66    <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
67    equivalent to an empty array.</para>
68
69    <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function> may be
70    used to determine all current login sessions.</para>
71
72    <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_uids()</function> may be used to
73    determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions.</para>
74
75    <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> may
76    be used to determine all current virtual machines and containers
77    on the system.</para>
78
79    <para>Note that the returned lists are not sorted and in an
80    undefined order.</para>

87    <function>sd_get_uids()</function> and <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> return the number of
88    entries in the arrays. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
