+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> may be used to
+ determine the login state of a specific Unix user identifier. The
+ following states are currently known: <literal>offline</literal>
+ (user not logged in at all), <literal>lingering</literal> (user
+ not logged in, but some user services running),
+ <literal>online</literal> (user logged in, but not active, i.e.
+ has no session in the foreground), <literal>active</literal> (user
+ logged in, and has at least one active session, i.e. one session
+ in the foreground), <literal>closing</literal> (user not logged
+ in, and not lingering, but some processes are still around). In
+ the future additional states might be defined, client code should
+ be written to be robust in regards to additional state strings
+ being returned. The returned string needs to be freed with the
+ libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific user is logged in or active on a
+ specific seat. Accepts a Unix user identifier and a seat
+ identifier string as parameters. The
+ <parameter>require_active</parameter> parameter is a boolean
+ value. If non-zero (true), this function will test if the user is
+ active (i.e. has a session that is in the foreground and accepting
+ user input) on the specified seat, otherwise (false) only if the
+ user is logged in (and possibly inactive) on the specified
+ seat.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> may be used to
+ determine the current sessions of the specified user. Accepts a
+ Unix user identifier as parameter. The
+ <parameter>require_active</parameter> parameter controls whether
+ the returned list shall consist of only those sessions where the
+ user is currently active (> 0), where the user is currently
+ online but possibly inactive (= 0), or logged in at all but
+ possibly closing the session (< 0). The call returns a
+ <constant>NULL</constant> terminated string array of session
+ identifiers in <parameter>sessions</parameter> which needs to be
+ freed by the caller with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use, including all the strings referenced. If the
+ string array parameter is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>, the
+ array will not be filled in, but the return code still indicates
+ the number of current sessions. Note that instead of an empty
+ array <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be
+ considered equivalent to an empty array.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function> may be
+ used to determine the list of seats on which the user currently
+ has sessions. Similar semantics apply, however note that the user
+ may have multiple sessions on the same seat as well as sessions
+ with no attached seat and hence the number of entries in the
+ returned array may differ from the one returned by
+ <function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_get_display()</function> returns the name
+ of the "primary" session of a user. If the user has graphical
+ sessions, it will be the oldest graphical session. Otherwise, it
+ will be the oldest open session.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> returns
+ 0 or a positive integer. If the test succeeds,
+ <function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> returns a positive
+ integer; if it fails, 0.
+ <function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> and
+ <function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function> return the number of
+ entries in the returned arrays.
+ <function>sd_uid_get_display()</function> returns a non-negative
+ code on success. On failure, these calls return a negative
+ errno-style error code.</para>

+
+ <para>Functions described here are available as a shared library,
+ and can be compiled and linked to using the
+ <constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
