48
49 <para><function>sd_machine_get_class()</function> may be used to
50 determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or
51 container that is registered with
52 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
53 The string returned is either <literal>vm</literal> or
54 <literal>container</literal>. The returned string needs to be
55 freed with the libc <citerefentry
56 project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
57 call after use.</para>
58
59 <para><function>sd_machine_get_ifindices()</function> may be used
60 to determine the numeric indices of the network interfaces on the
61 host that are pointing towards the specified locally running
62 virtual machine or container that is registered with
63 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
