                <para><function>sd_session_is_active()</function> may
                be used to determine whether the session identified by
                the specified session identifier is currently active
                (i.e. currently in the foreground and available for
                user input) or not.</para>

                <para><function>sd_session_get_uid()</function> may be
                used to determine the user identifier of the Unix user the session
                identified by the specified session identifier belongs
                to.</para>

                <para><function>sd_session_get_seat()</function> may
                be used to determine the seat identifier of the seat
                the session identified by the specified session
                identifier belongs to. Note that not all sessions are
                attached to a seat, this call will fail for them. The
                returned string needs to be freed with the libc
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                call after use.</para>

                <title>Return Value</title>

                <para>If the test succeeds
                <function>sd_session_is_active()</function> returns a
                positive integer, if it fails 0.  On success
                <function>sd_session_get_uid()</function> and
                <function>sd_session_get_seat()</function> return 0 or
                a positive integer. On failure, these calls return a
                negative errno-style error code.</para>
        </refsect1>
