76 | <title>Description</title> | |
77 | ||
78 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may be used to | |
79 | monitor login sessions, users, seats, and virtual | |
80 | machines/containers. Via a monitor object a file descriptor can be | |
81 | integrated into an application defined event loop which is woken | |
82 | up each time a user logs in, logs out or a seat is added or | |
83 | removed, or a session, user, seat or virtual machine/container | |
84 | changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a string which | |
85 | can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get only notifications about | |
86 | seats being added, removed or changed), <literal>session</literal> | |
87 | (to get only notifications about sessions being created or removed | |
88 | or changed), <literal>uid</literal> (to get only notifications | |
89 | when a user changes state in respect to logins) or | |
90 | <literal>machine</literal> (to get only notifications when a | |
91 | virtual machine or container is started or stopped). If | |
92 | notifications shall be generated in all these conditions, | |
93 | <constant>NULL</constant> may be passed. Note that in the future | |
94 | additional categories may be defined. The second parameter returns | |
95 | a monitor object and needs to be freed with the | |
96 | <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call after | |
97 | use.</para> | |
98 | ||
99 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> may be used to | |
100 | destroy a monitor object. Note that this will invalidate any file | |
101 | descriptor returned by | |
102 | <function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para> | |
103 | ||
4afd3348 LP |
104 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> is similar to |
105 | <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> but takes a pointer | |
106 | to a pointer to an <type>sd_login_monitor</type> object. This call | |
107 | is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink | |
108 | url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up | |
109 | Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as | |
110 | inline function. Use a declaration like the following, in order to | |
111 | allocate a login monitor object that is freed automatically as the | |
112 | code block is left:</para> | |
113 | ||
114 | <programlisting>{ | |
f4e1a425 | 115 | __attribute__((cleanup(sd_login_monitor_unrefp))) sd_login_monitor *m = NULL; |
787f78b6 ZJS |
116 | int r; |
117 | … | |
941c5275 | 118 | r = sd_login_monitor_new(NULL, &m); |
b4096cec ZJS |
119 | if (r < 0) { |
120 | errno = -r; | |
121 | fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate login monitor object: %m\n"); | |
122 | } | |
787f78b6 | 123 | … |

124 | }</programlisting> |
125 | ||
798d3a52 ZJS |
126 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> may be used to |
127 | reset the wakeup state of the monitor object. Whenever an event | |
128 | causes the monitor to wake up the event loop via the file | |
129 | descriptor this function needs to be called to reset the wake-up | |
130 | state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor will | |
131 | immediately wake up the event loop again.</para> | |
132 | ||
4afd3348 LP |
133 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> and |
134 | <function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> execute no | |
135 | operation if the passed in monitor object is | |
136 | <constant>NULL</constant>.</para> | |
137 | ||
798d3a52 ZJS |
138 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> may be used |
139 | to retrieve the file descriptor of the monitor object that may be | |
140 | integrated in an application defined event loop, based around | |
141 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
142 | or a similar interface. The application should include the | |
143 | returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the events mask | |
144 | returned by <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. It | |
145 | should pass a timeout value as returned by | |
146 | <function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>. Whenever a | |
147 | wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be reset via | |
148 | <function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An application | |
149 | needs to reread the login state with a function like | |
150 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
151 | or similar to determine what changed.</para> | |
152 | ||
153 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function> will | |
154 | return the <function>poll()</function> mask to wait for. This | |
155 | function will return a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>, | |
156 | <constant>POLLOUT</constant> and similar to fill into the | |
157 | <literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct | |
158 | pollfd</varname>.</para> | |
159 | ||
160 | <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function> will | |
161 | return a timeout value for usage in <function>poll()</function>. | |
162 | This returns a value in microseconds since the epoch of | |
163 | <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> for timing out | |
164 | <function>poll()</function> in <varname>timeout_usec</varname>. | |
165 | See | |
166 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
167 | for details about <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there | |
168 | is no timeout to wait for this will fill in <constant>(uint64_t) | |
169 | -1</constant> instead. Note that <function>poll()</function> takes | |
170 | a relative timeout in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout | |
e503019b | 171 | in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'μs' timeout into |
798d3a52 ZJS |
172 | relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para> |
173 | ||
174 | <programlisting>uint64_t t; | |
667c24a6 LP |
175 | int msec; |
176 | sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &t); | |
177 | if (t == (uint64_t) -1) | |
787f78b6 | 178 | msec = -1; |
667c24a6 | 179 | else { |
787f78b6 ZJS |
180 | struct timespec ts; |
181 | uint64_t n; | |
182 | clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts); | |
183 | n = (uint64_t) ts.tv_sec * 1000000 + ts.tv_nsec / 1000; | |
184 | msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0; | |
667c24a6 LP |
185 | }</programlisting> |

187 | <para>The code above does not do any error checking for brevity's |
188 | sake. The calculated <varname>msec</varname> integer can be passed | |
189 | directly as <function>poll()</function>'s timeout | |

200 | return 0 or a positive integer. On success, | |

203 | <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function> | |
