<title>Notes</title>
- <para>These functions are provided by the reference
- implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
- distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
- they implement are simple, and can easily be
- reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
- this interface without using the reference
- implementation.</para>
+ <xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>
<para>Internally, these function use a combination of
<filename>fstat()</filename> and
<filename>getsockname()</filename> to check the file
descriptor type and where it is bound to.</para>
-
- <para>For details about the algorithm check the
- liberally licensed reference implementation sources:
- <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-daemon.c"/>
- resp. <ulink
- url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
-
- <para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> and the
- related functions are implemented in the reference
- implementation's drop-in
- <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
- <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. It is
- recommended that applications consuming these APIs
- copy the implementation into their source tree. For
- more details about the reference implementation see

- <para>These functions continue to work as described,
- even if -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
- compilation.</para>
