+
+                <para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> may be called
+                to check whether the specified file descriptor refers
+                to a FIFO or pipe. If the <parameter>path</parameter>
+                parameter is not NULL, it is checked whether the FIFO
+                is bound to the specified file system path.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_is_socket()</function> may be
+                called to check whether the specified file descriptor
+                refers to a socket. If the
+                <parameter>family</parameter> parameter is not
+                AF_UNSPEC it is checked whether the socket is of the
+                specified family (AF_UNIX, AF_INET, ...). If the
+                <parameter>type</parameter> parameter is not 0 it is
+                checked whether the socket is of the specified type
+                (SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM, ...). If the
+                <parameter>listening</parameter> parameter is positive
+                it is checked whether the socket is in accepting mode,
+                i.e. <function>listen()</function> has been called for
+                it. If <parameter>listening</parameter> is 0, it is
+                checked whether the socket is not in this mode. If the
+                parameter is negative, no such check is made. The
+                <parameter>listening</parameter> parameter should only
+                be used for stream sockets and should be set to a
+                negative value otherwise.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_is_socket_inet()</function> is
+                similar to <function>sd_is_socket()</function>, but
+                optionally checks the IPv4 or IPv6 port number the
+                socket is bound to, unless <parameter>port</parameter>
+                is zero. For this call <parameter>family</parameter>
+                must be passed as either AF_UNSPEC, AF_INET, or
+                AF_INET6.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_is_socket_unix()</function> is
+                similar to <function>sd_is_socket()</function>, but
+                optionally checks the AF_UNIX path the socket is bound
+                to, unless the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter
+                is NULL. For normal file system AF_UNIX sockets set
+                the <parameter>length</parameter> parameter to 0. For
+                Linux abstract namespace sockets set the
+                <parameter>length</parameter> to the size of the
+                address, including the initial 0 byte and set
+                <parameter>path</parameter> to the initial 0 byte of
+                the socket address.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_is_mq()</function> may be called to
+                check whether the specified file descriptor refers to
+                a POSIX message queue. If the
+                <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not NULL, it
+                is checked whether the message queue is bound to the
+                specified name.</para>

+                a positive return value is returned, otherwise

+                <para>These functions are provided by the reference
+                implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
+                distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
+                they implement are simple, and can easily be
+                reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
+                this interface without using the reference
+                implementation.</para>
+
+                <para>Internally, these function use a combination of
+                <filename>fstat()</filename> and
+                <filename>getsockname()</filename> to check the file
+                descriptor type and where it is bound to.</para>

+
+                <para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> and the
+                related functions are implemented in the reference
+                implementation's <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
+                <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
+                interfaces are available as shared library, which can
