                <para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used
                to determine all currently available local
                seats. Returns a <constant>NULL</constant> terminated array of seat
                identifiers. 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>
        </refsect1>

                <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>
        </refsect1>
