  79                 <para>This function is provided by the reference
  80                 implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
  81                 distributed with the systemd package. The algorithm it
  82                 implements is simple, and can easily be reimplemented
  83                 in daemons if it is important to support this
  84                 interface without using the reference
  85                 implementation.</para>
  86
  87                 <para>Internally, this function checks whether the
  88                 <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd</filename> virtual file
  89                 system is mounted, by comparing the st_dev value of
  90                 the <function>stat()</function> data of
  91                 <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename> and
  92                 <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd</filename>.</para>

 102                 <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
 103                 <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
 104                 interfaces are available as shared library, which can
 105                 be compiled and linked to with the

 109                 may copy the implementation into their source
 110                 tree. For more details about the reference

 116                 compilation this function will always return 0 and
 117                 otherwise become a NOP.</para>
