<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used to determine
all currently available local seats. Returns the number of seat
identifiers and if the input pointer is non-<constant>NULL</constant>, a
<constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of seat identifiers
is stored at the address.
The returned array and all strings it references need to be freed
with the libc
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
<constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
equivalent to an empty array.</para>
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function> may be
used to determine all current login sessions.</para>
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_uids()</function> may be used to
determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions.</para>
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> may
be used to determine all current virtual machines and containers
on the system.</para>
<para>Note that the returned lists are not sorted and in an
undefined order.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_get_seats()</function>, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function>,
<function>sd_get_uids()</function> and <function>sd_get_machine_names()</function> return the number of
entries in the arrays. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<refsect2>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ENOMEM</constant></term>
