Notes
- 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 they can easily be
- reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
- this interface without using the reference
- implementation.
+ These APIs are implemented as a shared library,
+ which can be compiled and linked to with the
+ libsystemd pkg-config1
+ file.
Internally, these function use a combination of
fstat() and
getsockname() to check the file
descriptor type and where it is bound to.

- For details about the algorithms, check the
- liberally licensed reference implementation sources:

- and
-
- sd_is_fifo() and the
- related functions are implemented in the reference
- implementation's sd-daemon.c and
- sd-daemon.h files. These
- interfaces are available as shared library, which can
- be compiled and linked to with the
- libsystemd-daemon pkg-config1
- file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
- may copy the implementation into their source
- tree. For more details about the reference
- implementation see
- sd-daemon3.

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