298 <title>Methods</title>
299
300 <para><function>GetMachine()</function> may be used to get the machine object path for the machine with
301 the specified name. Similarly, <function>GetMachineByPID()</function> gets the machine object the
302 specified PID belongs to if there is any.</para>
303
304 <para><function>GetImage()</function> may be used to get the image object path of the image with the
305 specified name.</para>
306
307 <para><function>ListMachines()</function> returns an array of all currently registered machines. The
308 structures in the array consist of the following fields: machine name, machine class, an identifier for
309 the service that registered the machine and the machine object path.</para>
310
311 <para><function>ListImages()</function> returns an array of all currently known images. The
312 structures in the array consist of the following fields: image name, type, read-only flag, creation
313 time, modification time, current disk space, and image object path.</para>
314
315 <para><function>CreateMachine()</function> may be used to register a new virtual machine or container
316 with <command>systemd-machined</command>, creating a scope unit for it. It accepts the following arguments: a
317 machine name chosen by the registrar, an optional UUID as a 32 byte array, a string that identifies the
318 service that registers the machine, a class string, the PID of the leader process of the machine, an
319 optional root directory of the container, and an array of additional properties to use for the scope
320 registration. The virtual machine name must be suitable as a hostname, and hence should follow the usual
321 DNS hostname rules, as well as the Linux hostname restrictions. Specifically, only 7 bit ASCII is
322 permitted, a maximum length of 64 characters is enforced, only characters from the set
323 <literal>a-zA-Z0-9-_.</literal> are allowed, the name may not begin with a dot, and it may not contain
324 two dots immediately following each other. Container and VM managers should ideally use the hostname
325 used internally in the machine for this parameter. This recommendation is made in order to make the
326 machine name naturally resolvable using
327 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-mymachines</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
328 a container manager needs to embed characters outside of the indicated range, escaping is required,
329 possibly using <literal>_</literal> as the escape character. Another (somewhat natural) option would be
330 to utilize Internet IDNA encoding. The UUID is passed as a 32 byte array or, if no suitable UUID is
331 available, an empty array (zero length) or zeroed out array shall be passed. The UUID should identify
332 the virtual machine/container uniquely and should ideally be the same UUID that
333 <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> in the VM/container is initialized from. The service string can be
334 free-form, but it is recommended to pass a short lowercase identifier like
335 <literal>systemd-nspawn</literal>, <literal>libvirt-lxc</literal> or similar. The class string should
336 be either <literal>container</literal> or <literal>vm</literal> indicating whether the machine to
337 register is of the respective class. The leader PID should be the host PID of the init process of the
338 container or the encapsulating process of the VM. If the root directory of the container is known and
339 available in the host's hierarchy, it should be passed. Otherwise, pass the empty string instead. Finally, the
340 scope properties are passed as array in the same way as to PID1's
341 <function>StartTransientUnit()</function> method. Calling this method will internally register a transient scope
342 unit for the calling client (utilizing the passed scope_properties) and move the leader PID into
343 it. The method returns an object path for the registered machine object that implements the
344 <interfacename>org.freedesktop.machine1.Machine</interfacename> interface (see below). Also see the
345 <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface">New Control Group
346 Interfaces</ulink> for details about scope units and how to alter resource control settings on the
347 created machine at runtime.</para>
348
349 <para><function>RegisterMachine()</function> is similar to <function>CreateMachine()</function>.
350 However, it only registers a machine and does not create a scope unit for it. Instead, the caller's unit is
351 registered. We recommend to only use this method for container or VM managers that are run
352 multiple times, one instance for each container/VM they manage, and are invoked as system
353 services.</para>
354
355 <para><function>CreateMachineWithNetwork()</function> and
356 <function>RegisterMachineWithNetwork()</function> are similar to <function>CreateMachine()</function>
357 and <function>RegisterMachine()</function> but take an extra argument: an array of network interface
358 indices that point towards the virtual machine or container. The interface indices should reference one
359 or more network interfaces on the host that can be used to communicate with the guest. Commonly, the
360 passed interface index refers to the host side of a "veth" link (in case of containers), a
361 "tun"/"tap" link (in case of VMs), or the host side of a bridge interface that bridges access to the
362 VM/container interfaces. Specifying this information is useful to enable support for link-local IPv6
363 communication to the machines since the scope field of sockaddr_in6 can be initialized by the
364 specified ifindex.
365 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-mymachines</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
366 makes use of this information.</para>
367
368 <para><function>KillMachine()</function> sends a UNIX signal to the machine's processes. As its arguments, it takes a
369 machine name (as originally passed to <function>CreateMachine()</function> or returned by
370 <function>ListMachines()</function>), an identifier that specifies what precisely to send the signal to (either
371 <literal>leader</literal> or <literal>all</literal>), and a numeric UNIX signal integer.</para>
372
373 <para><function>TerminateMachine()</function> terminates a virtual machine, killing its processes. It
374 takes a machine name as its only argument.</para>
375
376 <para><function>GetMachineAddresses()</function> retrieves the IP addresses of a container. This method
377 returns an array of pairs consisting of an address family specifier (<constant>AF_INET</constant> or
378 <constant>AF_INET6</constant>) and a byte array containing the addresses. This is only supported for
379 containers that make use of network namespacing.</para>
380
381 <para><function>GetMachineOSRelease()</function> retrieves the OS release information of a
382 container. This method returns an array of key value pairs read from the
383 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file in
384 the container and is useful to identify the operating system used in a container.</para>
385
386 <para><function>OpenMachinePTY()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container and returns a file
387 descriptor and its path. This is equivalent to transitioning into the container and invoking
388 <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>posix_openpt</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
389 </para>
390
391 <para><function>OpenMachineLogin()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container and ensures that
392 a getty login prompt of the container is running on the other end. It returns the file descriptor of
393 the PTY and the PTY path. This is useful for acquiring a pty with a login prompt from the
394 container.</para>
395
396 <para><function>OpenMachineShell()</function> allocates a pseudo TTY in the container, as the specified
397 user, and invokes the executable at the specified path with a list of arguments (starting from
398 argv[0]) and an environment block. It then returns the file descriptor of the PTY and the PTY
399 path.</para>
400
401 <para><function>BindMountMachine()</function> bind mounts a file or directory from the host into the
402 container. Its arguments consist of a machine name, the source directory on the host, the destination directory in the
403 container, and two booleans, one indicating whether the bind mount shall be
404 read-only, the other indicating whether the destination mount point shall be created first, if it is
405 missing.</para>
406
407 <para><function>CopyFromMachine()</function> copies files or directories from a container into the
408 host. It takes a container name, a source directory in the container and a destination directory on the
409 host as arguments.
410 <function>CopyToMachine()</function> does the opposite and copies files from a source
411 directory on the host into a destination directory in the container.
412 <function>CopyFromMachineWithFlags()</function> and <function>CopyToMachineWithFlags()</function> do the same but take an additional flags argument.</para>
413
414 <para><function>RemoveImage()</function> removes the image with the specified name.</para>
415
416 <para><function>RenameImage()</function> renames the specified image.</para>
417
418 <para><function>CloneImage()</function> clones the specified image under a new name. It also takes a
419 boolean argument indicating whether the resulting image shall be read-only or not.</para>
420
421 <para><function>MarkImageReadOnly()</function> toggles the read-only flag of an image.</para>
422
423 <para><function>SetPoolLimit()</function> sets an overall quota limit on the pool of images.</para>
424
425 <para><function>SetImageLimit()</function> sets a per-image quota limit.</para>
426
427 <para><function>MapFromMachineUser()</function>, <function>MapToMachineUser()</function>,
428 <function>MapFromMachineGroup()</function>, and <function>MapToMachineGroup()</function> may be used to map
429 UIDs/GIDs from the host user namespace to a container user namespace or vice versa.</para>

600 <para><function>Terminate()</function> and <function>Kill()</function> terminate/kill the machine. These methods
601 take the same arguments as <function>TerminateMachine()</function> and
602 <function>KillMachine()</function> on the Manager interface, respectively.</para>
603
604 <para><function>GetAddresses()</function> and <function>GetOSRelease()</function> get the IP address and OS
605 release information from the machine. These methods take the same arguments as
606 <function>GetMachineAddresses()</function> and <function>GetMachineOSRelease()</function> of the
607 Manager interface, respectively.</para>

612
613 <para><varname>Name</varname> is the machine name as it was passed in during registration with
614 <function>CreateMachine()</function> on the manager object.</para>
615
616 <para><varname>Id</varname> is the machine UUID.</para>
617
618 <para><varname>Timestamp</varname> and <varname>TimestampMonotonic</varname> are the realtime and
619 monotonic timestamps when the virtual machines where created in microseconds since the epoch.</para>
620
621 <para><varname>Service</varname> contains a short string identifying the registering service as passed
622 in during registration of the machine.</para>
623
624 <para><varname>Unit</varname> is the systemd scope or service unit name for the machine.</para>
625
626 <para><varname>Leader</varname> is the PID of the leader process of the machine.</para>
627
628 <para><varname>Class</varname> is the class of the machine and is either the string "vm" (for real VMs
629 based on virtualized hardware) or "container" (for light-weight userspace virtualization sharing the
630 same kernel as the host).</para>
631
632 <para><varname>RootDirectory</varname> is the root directory of the container if it is known and
633 applicable or the empty string.</para>
634
635 <para><varname>NetworkInterfaces</varname> contains an array of network interface indices that point
636 towards the container, the VM or the host. For details about this information see the description of
637 <function>CreateMachineWithNetwork()</function> above.</para>
638
639 <para><varname>State</varname> is the state of the machine and is one of <literal>opening</literal>,
640 <literal>running</literal>, or <literal>closing</literal>. Note that the state machine is not considered
641 part of the API and states might be removed or added without this being considered API breakage.
