This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>sd-login.h</filename> provides APIs to introspect
|
|
and monitor seat, login session and user status information on the
|
|
local system. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>See <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat">Multi-Seat
|
|
on Linux</ulink> for an introduction into multi-seat support on
|
|
Linux, the background for this set of APIs.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these APIs only allow purely passive access and
|
|
monitoring of seats, sessions and users. To actively make changes
|
|
to the seat configuration, terminate login sessions, or switch
|
|
session on a seat you need to utilize the D-Bus API of
|
|
systemd-logind, instead.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These functions synchronously access data in
|
|
<filename>/proc</filename>, <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/run</filename>. All of these are virtual file
|
|
systems, hence the runtime cost of the accesses is relatively
|
|
cheap.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is possible (and often a very good choice) to mix calls
|
|
to the synchronous interface of <filename>sd-login.h</filename>
|
|
with the asynchronous D-Bus interface of systemd-logind. However,
|
|
if this is done you need to think a bit about possible races since
|
|
the stream of events from D-Bus and from
|
|
<filename>sd-login.h</filename> interfaces such as the login
|
|
monitor are asynchronous and not ordered against each
|
|
other.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the functions return string arrays, these are generally
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> terminated and need to be freed by the
|
|
caller with the libc
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
call after use, including the strings referenced therein.
|
|
Similarly, individual strings returned need to be freed, as
|
|
well.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As a special exception, instead of an empty string array
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> may be returned, which should be treated
|
|
equivalent to an empty string array.</para>
