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 (> 0), where the user is currently + online but possibly inactive (= 0), or logged in at all but + possibly closing the session (< 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> + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + <title>Return Value</title> + + <para>On success, <function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> returns + 0 or a positive integer. If the test succeeds, + <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. + <function>sd_uid_get_display()</function> returns a non-negative + code on success.
