NAME
       sd_session_is_active, sd_session_get_state, sd_session_get_uid,
       sd_session_get_seat, sd_session_get_service, sd_session_get_type,
       sd_session_get_class, sd_session_get_display, sd_session_get_tty,
       sd_session_get_vt - Determine state of a specific session

SYNOPSIS
       #include <systemd/sd-login.h>

       int sd_session_is_active(const char* session);

       int sd_session_get_state(const char* session, char** state);

       int sd_session_get_uid(const char* session, uid_t* uid);

       int sd_session_get_seat(const char* session, char** seat);

       int sd_session_get_service(const char* session, char** service);

       int sd_session_get_type(const char* session, char** type);

       int sd_session_get_class(const char* session, char** class);

       int sd_session_get_display(const char* session, char** display);

       int sd_session_get_tty(const char* session, char** tty);

       int sd_session_get_vt(const char* session, unsigned int* vt);

DESCRIPTION
       sd_session_is_active() 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.

       sd_session_get_state() may be used to determine the state of the
       session identified by the specified session identifier. The following
       states are currently known: "online" (session logged in, but session
       not active, i.e. not in the foreground), "active" (session logged in
       and active, i.e. in the foreground), "closing" (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
       sd_session_is_active(). The returned string needs to be freed with the
       libc free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_uid() may be used to determine the user identifier of
       the Unix user the session identified by the specified session
       identifier belongs to.

       sd_session_get_seat() 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 free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_service() 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 free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_type() may be used to determine the type of the session
       identified by the specified session identifier. The returned string is
       one of "x11", "tty" or "unspecified" and needs to be freed with the
       libc free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_class() may be used to determine the class of the
       session identified by the specified session identifier. The returned
       string is one of "user", "greeter", "lock-screen", or "background" and
       needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_display() may be used to determine the X11 display of
       the session identified by the specified session identifier. The
       returned string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_tty() may be used to determine the TTY device of the
       session identified by the specified session identifier. The returned
       string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use.

       sd_session_get_vt() may be used to determine the VT number of the
       session identified by the specified session identifier. This function
       will return an error if the seat does not support VTs.

       If the session parameter of any of these functions is passed as NULL,
       the operation is executed for the session the calling process is a
       member of, if there is any.

RETURN VALUE
       If the test succeeds, sd_session_is_active() returns a positive
       integer, if it fails 0. On success sd_session_get_state(),
       sd_session_get_uid(), sd_session_get_seat(), sd_session_get_service(),
       sd_session_get_type(), sd_session_get_class(), sd_session_get_display()
       and sd_session_get_tty() return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
       these calls return a negative errno-style error code.

NOTES
       The sd_session_is_active(), sd_session_get_state(),
       sd_session_get_uid(), sd_session_get_seat(), sd_session_get_service(),
       sd_session_get_type(), sd_session_get_class(), sd_session_get_display()
       and sd_session_get_tty() interfaces are available as a shared library,
       which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd-login pkg-
       config(1) file.
