+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used to determine
+ all currently available local seats. Returns a
+ <constant>NULL</constant> terminated array of seat identifiers.
+ The returned array and all strings it references need to be freed
+ with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
+ <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
+ equivalent to an empty array.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function> may be
+ used to determine all current login sessions.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_uids()</function> may be used to
+ determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> may
+ be used to determine all current virtual machines and containers
+ on the system.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the returned lists are not sorted and in an
+ undefined order.</para>

+ <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> return the number of
+ entries in the arrays. On failure, these calls return a negative
