- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may
- be used to monitor login sessions, 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 <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 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_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>
- or similar to determine what changed.</para>

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

-
- <para>The <function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function>,
- <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>, <function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> and
- <function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> interfaces
- are available as shared library, which can be compiled
- and linked to with the
- <literal>libsystemd-login</literal>
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
