+
+                <para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may
+                be used to monitor login session, users and seats. 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, or seat changes
+                state otherwise. The first parameter takes a string
+                which can be either <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) or <literal>uid</literal> (to get only
+                notifications when a user changes state in respect to
+                logins). If notifications shall be generated in all
+                these conditions, NULL may be passed. Note that in
+                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_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_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
+                POLLIN events. 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>

+                identifier is a short string (up to 64 characters),
+                consisting only of the characters a-zA-Z0-9 as well as

+
+                <para><function>sd_uid_get_state()</function> may be
+                used to determine the login state of a specific Unix
+                user identifier. The following states are currently
+                known: <literal>offline</literal> (user not logged in
+                at all), <literal>lingering</literal> (user not logged
+                in, but some user services running),
+                <literal>online</literal> (user logged in, but not
+                active), <literal>active</literal> (user logged in on
+                an active seat). In the future additional states might
+                be defined, client code should be written to be robust
+                in regards to additional state strings being
+                returned. The returned string needs to be freed with
+                the libc
+                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+                call after use.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> may be
+                used to determine whether a specific user is logged in
+                or active on a specific seat. Accepts a Unix user
+                identifier and a seat identifier string as
+                parameters. The <parameter>require_active</parameter>
+                parameter is a boolean. If non-zero (true) this
+                function will test if the user is active (i.e. has a
+                session that is in the foreground and accepting user
+                input) on the specified seat, otherwise (false) only
+                if the user is logged in (and possibly inactive) on
+                the specified seat.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> may
+                be used to determine the current sessions of the
+                specified user. Acceptes a Unix user identifier as
+                parameter. The <parameter>require_active</parameter>
+                boolean parameter controls whether the returned list
+                shall consist of only those sessions where the user is
+                currently active (true) or where the user is currently
+                logged in at all, possibly inactive (false). The call
+                returns a NULL terminated string array of session
+                identifiers in <parameter>sessions</parameter> which
+                needs to be freed by the caller with the libc
+                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+                call after use, including all the strings referenced. If
+                the string array parameter is passed as NULL the array
+                will not be filled in, but the return code still
+                indicates the number of current sessions.</para>
+
+                <para>Similar, <function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function>
+                may be used to determine the list of seats on which
+                the user currently has sessions. Similar semantics
+                apply, however note that the user may have
+                multiple sessions on the same seat as well as sessions
+                with no attached seat and hence the number of entries
+                in the returned array may differ from the one returned
+                by <function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function>.</para>
