    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_machine_get_class()</function> may be used to
    determine the class of a locally running virtual machine or
    container that is registered with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    The string returned is either <literal>vm</literal> or
    <literal>container</literal>. 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_machine_get_ifindices()</function> may be used
    to determine the numeric indices of the network interfaces on the
    host that are pointing towards the specified locally running
    virtual machine or container that is registered with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    The returned array needs to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    call after use.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
    errno-style error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
