.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_get_seats()\fR
may be used to determine all currently available local seats\&. Returns the number of seat identifiers and if the input pointer is non\-NULL, a
\fBNULL\fR\-terminated array of seat identifiers is stored at the address\&. The returned array and all strings it references need to be freed with the libc
\fBfree\fR(3)
call after use\&. Note that instead of an empty array
\fBNULL\fR
may be returned and should be considered equivalent to an empty array\&.
.PP
Similarly,
\fBsd_get_sessions()\fR
may be used to determine all current login sessions\&.
.PP
Similarly,
\fBsd_get_uids()\fR
may be used to determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions\&.
.PP
Similarly,
\fBsd_get_machine_names()\fR
may be used to determine all current virtual machines and containers on the system\&.
.PP
Note that the returned lists are not sorted and in an undefined order\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success,
\fBsd_get_seats()\fR,
\fBsd_get_sessions()\fR,
\fBsd_get_uids()\fR
and
\fBsd_get_machine_names()\fR
return the number of entries in the arrays\&. On failure, these calls return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ENOMEM\fR
.RS 4
Memory allocation failed\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibelogind\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
