  62     <para><function>sd_machine_get_class()</function> may be used to
  63     determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or
  64     container that is registered with
  65     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  66     The string returned is either <literal>vm</literal> or
  67     <literal>container</literal>. The returned string needs to be
  68     freed with the libc <citerefentry
  69     project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  70     call after use.</para>
  71
  72     <para><function>sd_machine_get_ifindices()</function> may be used
  73     to determine the numeric indices of the network interfaces on the
  74     host that are pointing towards the specified locally running
  75     virtual machine or container that is registered with
  76     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  77     The returned array needs to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
