  44     <title>Description</title>
  45
  46     <para><function>sd_machine_get_class()</function> may be used to
  47     determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or
  48     container that is registered with
  49     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  50     The string returned is either <literal>vm</literal> or
  51     <literal>container</literal>. The returned string needs to be
  52     freed with the libc <citerefentry
  53     project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  54     call after use.</para>
  55
  56     <para><function>sd_machine_get_ifindices()</function> may be used to determine the numeric indices of the
  57     network interfaces on the host that are pointing towards the specified locally running virtual machine or
  58     container. The vm or container must be registered with
  59     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  60     The output parameter <parameter>ret_ifindices</parameter> may be passed as <constant>NULL</constant> when
  61     the output value is not needed. The returned array needs to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
  62     project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> call after
  63     use.</para>

  67     <title>Return Value</title>
  68
  69     <para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer.
  70     <function>sd_machine_get_ifindices()</function> returns the number of the relevant network interfaces.
  71     On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
