- <para><function>sd_seat_can_multi_session()</function> may be used
- to determine whether a specific seat is capable of multi-session,
- i.e. allows multiple login sessions in parallel (with only one
- being active at a time).</para>
-
<para><function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> may be used to
determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
is useful as a text console.</para>
<para> On success, <function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> returns 0 or a positive integer. On success,
<function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> returns the number of entries in the session identifier
- array. If the test succeeds, <function>sd_seat_can_multi_session</function>,
+ array. If the test succeeds,
<function>sd_seat_can_tty</function> and <function>sd_seat_can_graphical</function> return a positive
integer, if it fails 0. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
