                <para>On failure, this call returns a negative
                errno-style error code. If the system was booted up
                with systemd as init system, this call returns a
                positive return value, zero otherwise.</para>

                <para>These APIs are implemented as a shared library,
                which can be compiled and linked to with the

                file.</para>

                <para>Internally, this function checks whether the
                directory <filename>/run/systemd/system/</filename>
                exists. A simple check like this can also be
                implemented trivially in shell or any other
                language.</para>
