<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>sd-login.h</filename> provides APIs to
introspect and monitor seat, login session and user
status information on the local system. </para>
<para>See <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat">Multi-Seat
on Linux</ulink> for an introduction into multi-seat
support on Linux, the background for this set of APIs.</para>
<para>Note that these APIs only allow purely passive access
and monitoring of seats, sessions and users. To
actively make changes to the seat configuration,
terminate login sessions, or switch session on a seat
you need to utilize the D-Bus API of
systemd-logind.</para>
