  70                 <para>On failure, this call returns a negative
  71                 errno-style error code. If the system was booted up

  79                 <para>This function is provided by the reference
  80                 implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
  81                 distributed with the systemd package. The algorithm it
  82                 implements is simple, and can easily be reimplemented
  83                 in daemons if it is important to support this
  84                 interface without using the reference
  85                 implementation.</para>
  86
  87                 <para>Internally, this function checks whether the
  88                 directory <filename>/run/systemd/system/</filename>
  89                 exists. A simple check like this can also be
  90                 implemented trivially in shell or any other
  91                 language.</para>
  92
  93                 <para>For details about the algorithm check the
  94                 liberally licensed reference implementation sources:
  95                 <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c"/>
  96                 and <ulink
  97                 url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
  98
  99                 <para><function>sd_booted()</function> is implemented
 100                 in the reference implementation's
 101                 <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
 102                 <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
 103                 interfaces are available as shared library, which can
 104                 be compiled and linked to with the
 105                 <literal>libsystemd-daemon</literal>
 106                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
 107                 file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
 108                 may copy the implementation into their source
 109                 tree. For more details about the reference
 110                 implementation see
 111                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
 112
 113                 <para>If the reference implementation is used as
 114                 drop-in files and -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
 115                 compilation this function will always return 0 and
 116                 otherwise become a NOP.</para>
