- <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(&amp;m);
- if (r &lt; 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, &amp;t);
-if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
- msec = -1;
-else {
- struct timespec ts;
- uint64_t n;
- clock_getttime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;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>

- <title>Return Value</title>
-
- <para>On success,
- <function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function>,
- <function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> and
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>
- return 0 or a positive integer. On success,
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> returns
- a Unix file descriptor. On success,
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
- returns a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>,
- <constant>POLLOUT</constant> and suchlike. On failure,
- these calls return a negative errno-style error
- code.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>
- always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
