Makre sure we always return sensible errors for the various, following the same rules, and document them in a comment in sd-login.c. Also, update all relevant man pages accordingly.

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine which session is currently active on a seat, if there is
|
||
any. Returns the session identifier and the user identifier of the
|
||
Unix user the session is belonging to. Either the session or the
|
||
user identifier parameter can be passed <constant>NULL</constant>,
|
||
in case only one of the parameters shall be queried. The returned
|
||
string needs to be freed with the libc
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
call after use.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine all sessions on the specified seat. Returns two arrays,
|
||
one (<constant>NULL</constant> terminated) with the session
|
||
identifiers of the sessions and one with the user identifiers of
|
||
the Unix users the sessions belong to. An additional parameter may
|
||
be used to return the number of entries in the latter array. The
|
||
two arrays and the latter parameter may be passed as
|
||
<constant>NULL</constant> in case these values need not to be
|
||
determined. The arrays and the strings referenced by them 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><function>sd_seat_can_multi_session()</function> may be used
|
||
to determine whether a specific seat is capable of multi-session,
|
||
i.e. allows multiple login sessions in parallel (with only one
|
||
being active at a time).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
|
||
is useful as a text console.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_seat_can_graphical()</function> may be used to
|
||
determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality,
|
||
i.e. is useful as a graphics display.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If the <varname>seat</varname> parameter of any of these
|
||
functions is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>, the operation is
|
||
executed for the seat of the session of the calling process, if
|
||
there is any.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
||
|
||
<para> On success, <function>sd_seat_get_active()</function>
|
||
returns 0 or a positive integer. On success,
|
||
<function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> returns the number of
|
||
entries in the session identifier array. If the test succeeds,
|
||
<function>sd_seat_can_multi_session</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_seat_can_tty</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_seat_can_graphical</function> return a positive
|
||
integer, if it fails 0. On failure, these calls return a negative
|
||
errno-style error code.</para>
