+
+    <para><function>sd_pid_get_session()</function> may be used to
+    determine the login session identifier of a process identified by
+    the specified process identifier. The session identifier is a
+    short string, suitable for usage in file system paths. Note that
+    not all processes are part of a login session (e.g. system service
+    processes, user processes that are shared between multiple
+    sessions of the same user, or kernel threads). For processes not
+    being part of a login session this function will fail. 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_pid_get_unit()</function> may be used to
+    determine the systemd system unit (i.e. system service) identifier
+    of a process identified by the specified PID. The unit name is a
+    short string, suitable for usage in file system paths. Note that
+    not all processes are part of a system unit/service (e.g. user
+    processes, or kernel threads). For processes not being part of a
+    systemd system unit this function will fail. (More specifically:
+    this call will not work for processes that are part of user units,
+    use <function>sd_pid_get_user_unit()</function> for that.) 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_pid_get_user_unit()</function> may be used to
+    determine the systemd user unit (i.e. user service) identifier of
+    a process identified by the specified PID. This is similar to
+    <function>sd_pid_get_unit()</function> but applies to user units
+    instead of system units.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function> may be used to
+    determine the Unix user identifier of the owner of the session of
+    a process identified the specified PID. Note that this function
+    will succeed for user processes which are shared between multiple
+    login sessions of the same user, where
+    <function>sd_pid_get_session()</function> will fail. For processes
+    not being part of a login session and not being a shared process
+    of a user this function will fail.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_pid_get_machine_name()</function> may be used
+    to determine the name of the VM or container is a member of. The
+    machine name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
+    paths. 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_pid_get_slice()</function> may be used to
+    determine the slice unit the process is a member of. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for details about slices. 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>If the <varname>pid</varname> parameter of any of these
+    functions is passed as 0, the operation is executed for the
+    calling process.</para>
+

+    <para><function>sd_session_is_active()</function> may be used to

+
+    <para><function>sd_session_is_remote()</function> may be used to
+    determine whether the session identified by the specified session
+    identifier is a remote session (i.e. its remote host is known) or
+    not.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_session_get_state()</function> may be used to
+    determine the state of the session identified by the specified
+    session identifier. The following states are currently known:
+    <literal>online</literal> (session logged in, but session not
+    active, i.e. not in the foreground), <literal>active</literal>
+    (session logged in and active, i.e. in the foreground),
+    <literal>closing</literal> (session nominally logged out, but some
+    processes belonging to it 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. This function is a more generic version of
+    <function>sd_session_is_active()</function>. The returned string
+    needs to be freed with the libc

+
+    <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 (&gt; 0), where the user is currently
+    online but possibly inactive (= 0), or logged in at all but
+    possibly closing the session (&lt; 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>

+    <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.
