<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_get_seats()</function> may be used
to determine all currently available local
seats. Returns a NULL terminated array of seat
identifiers. The returned array and all strings it
references need to be freed with the libc
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
NULL may be returned and should be considered
equivalent to an empty array.</para>
<para>Similar, <function>sd_get_sessions()</function> may
be used to determine all current login sessions.</para>
<para>Similar, <function>sd_get_uids()</function> may
be used to determine all Unix users who currently have login sessions.</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> and
<function>sd_get_uids()</function> return the number
of entries in the arrays. On failure, these calls
return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
