  82
  83     <para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used to determine
  84     all currently available local seats. Returns the number of seat
  85     identifiers and if the input pointer is non-NULL, a
  86     <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of seat identifiers
  87     is stored at the address.
  88     The returned array and all strings it references need to be freed
  89     with the libc
  90     <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  91     call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
  92     <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
  93     equivalent to an empty array.</para>
  94
  95     <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function> may be
  96     used to determine all current login sessions.</para>
  97
  98     <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_uids()</function> may be used to
  99     determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions.</para>
 100
 101     <para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> may
 102     be used to determine all current virtual machines and containers
 103     on the system.</para>
 104
 105     <para>Note that the returned lists are not sorted and in an
 106     undefined order.</para>

 114     <function>sd_get_uids()</function> and
 115     <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> return the number of
 116     entries in the arrays. On failure, these calls return a negative
 117     errno-style error code.</para>
