-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may
- be used to monitor login sessions, users, seats, and
- virtual machines/containers. Via a monitor object a
- file descriptor can be integrated into an application
- defined event loop which is woken up each time a user
- logs in, logs out or a seat is added or removed, or a
- session, user, seat or virtual machine/container
- changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a
- string which can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get
- only notifications about seats being added, removed or
- changed), <literal>session</literal> (to get only
- notifications about sessions being created or removed
- or changed), <literal>uid</literal> (to get only
- notifications when a user changes state in respect to
- logins) or <literal>machine</literal> (to get only
- notifications when a virtual machine or container is
- started or stopped). If notifications shall be
- generated in all these conditions, <constant>NULL</constant> may be
- passed. Note that in the future additional categories
- may be defined. The second parameter returns a monitor
- object and needs to be freed with the
- <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call
- after use.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>
- may be used to destroy a monitor object. Note that
- this will invalidate any file descriptor returned by
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>
- may be used to reset the wakeup state of the monitor
- object. Whenever an event causes the monitor to wake
- up the event loop via the file descriptor this
- function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
- state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor
- will immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>
- may be used to retrieve the file descriptor of the
- monitor object that may be integrated in an
- application defined event loop, based around
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- or a similar interface. The application should include
- the returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the
- events mask returned by
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. It
- should pass a timeout value as returned by
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>. Whenever
- a wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be
- reset via
- <function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An
- application needs to reread the login state with a
- function like
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- or similar to determine what changed.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
- will return the <function>poll()</function> mask to
- wait for. This function will return a combination of
- <constant>POLLIN</constant>, <constant>POLLOUT</constant>
- and similar to fill into the
- <literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct
- pollfd</varname>.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>
- will return a timeout value for usage in
- <function>poll()</function>. This returns a value in
- microseconds since the epoch of <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>
- for timing out <function>poll()</function> in
- <varname>timeout_usec</varname>. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details about
- <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there is no
- timeout to wait for this will fill in
- <constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> instead. Note that
- <function>poll()</function> takes a relative timeout
- in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout in
- microseconds. To convert the absolute 'us' timeout into
- relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
