The string returned is either vm or container. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free3 call after use. sd_machine_get_ifindices() may be used to determine the numeric indices of the network interfaces on the host that are pointing towards the specified locally running virtual machine or container that is registered with systemd-machined.service8. The returned array needs to be freed with the libc free3 call after use. On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code. Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -ENXIO The specified machine does not exist or is currently not running. -EINVAL An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where that's not accepted). -ENOMEM Memory allocation failed. The sd_machine_get_class() and sd_machine_get_ifindices() interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config1 file. systemd1, sd-login3, systemd-machined.service8, sd_pid_get_machine_name3
