<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may be used to
|
||
monitor login sessions, users, seats, and virtual
|
||
machines/containers. Via a monitor object a file descriptor can be
|
||
integrated into an application defined event loop which is woken
|
||
up each time a user logs in, logs out or a seat is added or
|
||
removed, or a session, user, seat or virtual machine/container
|
||
changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a string which
|
||
can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get only notifications about
|
||
seats being added, removed or changed), <literal>session</literal>
|
||
(to get only notifications about sessions being created or removed
|
||
or changed), <literal>uid</literal> (to get only notifications
|
||
when a user changes state in respect to logins) or
|
||
<literal>machine</literal> (to get only notifications when a
|
||
virtual machine or container is started or stopped). If
|
||
notifications shall be generated in all these conditions,
|
||
<constant>NULL</constant> may be passed. Note that in the future
|
||
additional categories may be defined. The second parameter returns
|
||
a monitor object and needs to be freed with the
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call after
|
||
use.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> may be used to
|
||
destroy a monitor object. Note that this will invalidate any file
|
||
descriptor returned by
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> is similar to
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> but takes a pointer
|
||
to a pointer to an <type>sd_login_monitor</type> object. This call
|
||
is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
|
||
url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
|
||
Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
|
||
inline function. Use a declaration like the following, in order to
|
||
allocate a login monitor object that is freed automatically as the
|
||
code block is left:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>{
|
||
__attribute__((cleanup(sd_login_monitor_unrefp)) sd_login_monitor *m = NULL;
|
||
int r;
|
||
…
|
||
r = sd_login_monitor_default(&m);
|
||
if (r < 0)
|
||
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate login monitor object: %s\n", strerror(-r));
|
||
…
|
||
}</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> may be used to
|
||
reset the wakeup state of the monitor object. Whenever an event
|
||
causes the monitor to wake up the event loop via the file
|
||
descriptor this function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
|
||
state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor will
|
||
immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> execute no
|
||
operation if the passed in monitor object is
|
||
<constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> may be used
|
||
to retrieve the file descriptor of the monitor object that may be
|
||
integrated in an application defined event loop, based around
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or a similar interface. The application should include the
|
||
returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the events mask
|
||
returned by <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. It
|
||
should pass a timeout value as returned by
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>. Whenever a
|
||
wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be reset via
|
||
<function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An application
|
||
needs to reread the login state with a function like
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or similar to determine what changed.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function> will
|
||
return the <function>poll()</function> mask to wait for. This
|
||
function will return a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>,
|
||
<constant>POLLOUT</constant> and similar to fill into the
|
||
<literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct
|
||
pollfd</varname>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function> will
|
||
return a timeout value for usage in <function>poll()</function>.
|
||
This returns a value in microseconds since the epoch of
|
||
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> for timing out
|
||
<function>poll()</function> in <varname>timeout_usec</varname>.
|
||
See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details about <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there
|
||
is no timeout to wait for this will fill in <constant>(uint64_t)
|
||
-1</constant> instead. Note that <function>poll()</function> takes
|
||
a relative timeout in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout
|
||
in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'µs' timeout into
|
||
relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>uint64_t t;
|
||
int msec;
|
||
sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &t);
|
||
if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
|
||
msec = -1;
|
||
else {
|
||
struct timespec ts;
|
||
uint64_t n;
|
||
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
|
||
n = (uint64_t) ts.tv_sec * 1000000 + ts.tv_nsec / 1000;
|
||
msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
|
||
}</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>The code above does not do any error checking for brevity's
|
||
sake. The calculated <varname>msec</varname> integer can be passed
|
||
directly as <function>poll()</function>'s timeout
|
||
parameter.</para>
