62 <title>Description</title>
63 <para><function>sd_booted()</function> checks whether
64 the system was booted up using the systemd init system.</para>
68 <title>Return Value</title>
70 <para>On failure, this call returns a negative
71 errno-style error code. If the system was booted up
72 with systemd as init system, this call returns a
73 positive return value, zero otherwise.</para>
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>
87 <para>Internally, this function checks whether the
88 directory <filename>/run/systemd/system/</filename>
89 exists. A simple check like this can also be
90 implemented trivially in shell or any other
93 <para>For details about the algorithm check the
94 liberally licensed reference implementation sources:
95 <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c"/>
97 url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
99 <para><function>sd_booted()</function> is implemented
100 in the reference implementation's
101 <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
102 <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
103 interfaces are available as shared library, which can
104 be compiled and linked to with the
105 <constant>libsystemd-daemon</constant> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
106 file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
107 may copy the implementation into their source
108 tree. For more details about the reference
110 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
112 <para>If the reference implementation is used as
113 drop-in files and -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
114 compilation this function will always return 0 and
115 otherwise become a NOP.</para>
