+
+ <para><function>sd_session_is_active()</function> may
+ be used to determine whether the session identified by
+ the specified session identifier is currently active
+ (i.e. currently in the foreground and available for
+ user input) or not.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_uid()</function> may be
+ used to determine the user identifier of the Unix user the session
+ identified by the specified session identifier belongs
+ to.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_seat()</function> may
+ be used to determine the seat identifier of the seat
+ the session identified by the specified session
+ identifier belongs to. Note that not all sessions are
+ attached to a seat, this call will fail for them. The
+ returned string needs to be freed with the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_service()</function>
+ may be used to determine the name of the service (as
+ passed during PAM session setup) that registered the
+ session identified by the specified session
+ identifier. The returned string needs to be freed with
+ the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_type()</function> may
+ be used to determine the type of the session
+ identified by the specified session identifier. The
+ returned string is one of <literal>x11</literal>,
+ <literal>tty</literal> or
+ <literal>unspecified</literal> and needs to be freed
+ with the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_class()</function> may
+ be used to determine the class of the session
+ identified by the specified session identifier. The
+ returned string is one of <literal>user</literal>,
+ <literal>greeter</literal> or
+ <literal>lock-screen</literal> and needs to be freed
+ with the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_session_get_display()</function>
+ may be used to determine the X11 display of the
+ session identified by the specified session
+ identifier. The returned string is one of needs to be
+ freed with the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <literal>session</literal> parameter of

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>If the test succeeds
+ <function>sd_session_is_active()</function> returns a
+ positive integer, if it fails 0. On success
+ <function>sd_session_get_uid()</function>,
+ <function>sd_session_get_service()</function> and
+ <function>sd_session_get_seat()</function> return 0 or
+ a positive integer. On failure, these calls return a
+ negative errno-style error code.</para>
