| is a system service that keeps track of user logins and seats.</para> |
| |
| <para>The daemon provides both a C library interface as well as a D-Bus interface. The library interface |
| may be used to introspect and watch the state of user logins and seats. The bus interface provides the |
| same functionality but in addition may also be used to make changes to the system state. For more information please |
| consult <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. |

| <title>Methods</title> |
| |
| <para><function>GetSession()</function> may be used to get the session object path for the session with |
| the specified ID. Similarly, <function>GetUser()</function> and <function>GetSeat()</function> get the |
| user and seat objects, respectively. <function>GetSessionByPID()</function> and |
| <function>GetUserByPID()</function> get the session/user object the specified PID belongs to if there |
| is any.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ListSessions()</function> returns an array of all current sessions. The structures in |
| the array consist of the following fields: session id, user id, user name, seat id, session object |
| path. If a session does not have a seat attached, the seat id field will be an empty string.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ListUsers()</function> returns an array of all currently logged in users. The |
| structures in the array consist of the following fields: user id, user name, user object path.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ListSeats()</function> returns an array of all currently available seats. The |
| structure in the array consists of the following fields: seat id, seat object path.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ListInhibitors()</function> lists all currently active inhibitors. It returns an array of |
| structures consisting of <varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>, |
| <varname>mode</varname>, <varname>uid</varname> (user ID), and <varname>pid</varname> (process ID).</para> |
| |
| <para><function>CreateSession()</function> and <function>ReleaseSession()</function> may be used to |
| open or close login sessions. These calls should <emphasis>never</emphasis> be invoked directly by |
| clients. Creating/closing sessions is exclusively the job of PAM and its |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| module.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ActivateSession()</function> brings the session with the specified ID into the |
| foreground. <function>ActivateSessionOnSeat()</function> does the same, but only if the seat id |
| matches.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>LockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to activate the screen |
| lock. <function>UnlockSession()</function> asks the session with the specified ID to remove an active |
| screen lock, if there is any. This is implemented by sending out the Lock() and Unlock() signals from |
| the respective session object which session managers are supposed to listen on.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>LockSessions()</function> asks all sessions to activate their screen locks. This may be |
| used to lock access to the entire machine in one action. Similarly, <function>UnlockSessions()</function> |
| asks all sessions to deactivate their screen locks.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>KillSession()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to one or all processes of a |
| session. As arguments it takes the session id, either the string <literal>leader</literal> or |
| <literal>all</literal> and a signal number. If <literal>leader</literal> is passed only the session |
| <literal>leader</literal> is killed. If <literal>all</literal> is passed all processes of the session |
| are killed.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>KillUser()</function> may be used to send a Unix signal to all processes of a user. As |
| arguments it takes the user id and a signal number.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>TerminateSession()</function>, <function>TerminateUser()</function>, |
| <function>TerminateSeat()</function> may be used to forcibly terminate one specific session, all |
| processes of a user, and all sessions attached to a specific seat, respectively. The session, user, |
| and seat are identified by their respective IDs.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetUserLinger()</function> enables or disables user lingering. If enabled, the runtime |
| directory of a user is kept around and they may continue to run processes while logged out. If |
| disabled, the runtime directory goes away as soon as they log out. <function>SetUserLinger()</function> |
| expects three arguments: the UID, a boolean whether to enable/disable and a boolean controlling the |
| <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/">polkit</ulink> |
| authorization interactivity (see below). Note that the user linger state is persistently |
| stored on disk.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>AttachDevice()</function> may be used to assign a specific device to a specific |
| seat. The device is identified by its <filename>/sys/</filename> path and must be eligible for seat |
| assignments. <function>AttachDevice()</function> takes three arguments: the seat id, the sysfs path, |
| and a boolean for controlling polkit interactivity (see below). Device assignments are persistently |
| stored on disk. To create a new seat, simply specify a previously unused seat id. For more information |
| about the seat assignment logic see |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>FlushDevices()</function> removes all explicit seat assignments for devices, resetting |
| all assignments to the automatic defaults. The only argument it takes is the polkit interactivity |
| boolean (see below).</para> |
| |
| <para><function>PowerOff()</function>, <function>Reboot()</function>, <function>Halt()</function>, |
| <function>Suspend()</function>, and <function>Hibernate()</function> result in the system being powered |
| off, rebooted, halted (shut down without turning off power), suspended (the system state is |
| saved to RAM and the CPU is turned off), or hibernated (the system state is saved to disk and |
| the machine is powered down). <function>HybridSleep()</function> results in the system entering a |
| hybrid-sleep mode, i.e. the system is both hibernated and suspended. |
| <function>SuspendThenHibernate()</function> results in the system being suspended, then later woken |
| using an RTC timer and hibernated. The only argument is the polkit interactivity boolean |
| <varname>interactive</varname> (see below). The main purpose of these calls is that they enforce |
| polkit policy and hence allow powering off/rebooting/suspending/hibernating even by unprivileged |
| users. They also enforce inhibition locks. UIs should expose these calls as the primary mechanism to |
| poweroff/reboot/suspend/hibernate the machine.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetRebootParameter()</function> sets a parameter for a subsequent reboot operation. |

| <para><function>SetRebootToFirmwareSetup()</function>, |
| <function>SetRebootToBootLoaderMenu()</function>, and <function>SetRebootToBootLoaderEntry()</function> |
| configure the action to be taken from the boot loader after a reboot: respectively entering firmware |
| setup mode, the boot loader menu, or a specific boot loader entry. See |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for the |
| corresponding command line interface.</para> |

| <function>CanRebootParameter()</function>, <function>CanRebootToFirmwareSetup()</function>, |
| <function>CanRebootToBootLoaderMenu()</function>, and |
| <function>CanRebootToBootLoaderEntry()</function> test whether the system supports the respective |
| operation and whether the calling user is allowed to execute it. Returns one of <literal>na</literal>, |
| <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>, and <literal>challenge</literal>. If |
| <literal>na</literal> is returned, the operation is not available because hardware, kernel, or drivers |
| do not support it. If <literal>yes</literal> is returned, the operation is supported and the user may |
| execute the operation without further authentication. If <literal>no</literal> is returned, the |
| operation is available but the user is not allowed to execute the operation. If |
| <literal>challenge</literal> is returned, the operation is available but only after |
| authorization.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ScheduleShutdown()</function> schedules a shutdown operation <varname>type</varname> at |
| time <varname>usec</varname> in microseconds since the UNIX epoch. <varname>type</varname> can be one |
| of <literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>dry-poweroff</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal>, |
| <literal>dry-reboot</literal>, <literal>halt</literal>, and <literal>dry-halt</literal>. (The |
| <literal>dry-</literal> variants do not actually execute the shutdown action.) |
| <function>CancelScheduledShutdown()</function> cancels a scheduled shutdown. The output parameter |
| <varname>cancelled</varname> is true if a shutdown operation was scheduled.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetWallMessage()</function> sets the wall message (the message that will be sent out to |
| all terminals and stored in a |
| <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>utmp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> record) for a |
| subsequent scheduled shutdown operation. The parameter <varname>wall_message</varname> specifies the |
| shutdown reason (and may be empty) which will be included in the shutdown message. The parameter |
| <varname>enable</varname> specifies whether to print a wall message on shutdown.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>Inhibit()</function> creates an inhibition lock. It takes four parameters: |
| <varname>what</varname>, <varname>who</varname>, <varname>why</varname>, and |
| <varname>mode</varname>. <varname>what</varname> is one or more of <literal>shutdown</literal>, |
| <literal>sleep</literal>, <literal>idle</literal>, <literal>handle-power-key</literal>, |
| <literal>handle-suspend-key</literal>, <literal>handle-hibernate-key</literal>, |
| <literal>handle-lid-switch</literal>, separated by colons, for inhibiting poweroff/reboot, |
| suspend/hibernate, the automatic idle logic, or hardware key handling. <varname>who</varname> should be |
| a short human readable string identifying the application taking the lock. <varname>why</varname> |
| should be a short human readable string identifying the reason why the lock is taken. Finally, |
| <varname>mode</varname> is either <literal>block</literal> or <literal>delay</literal> which encodes |
| whether the inhibit shall be consider mandatory or whether it should just delay the operation to a |
| certain maximum time. The method returns a file descriptor. The lock is released the moment this file |
| descriptor and all its duplicates are closed. For more information on the inhibition logic see |
| <ulink url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit">Inhibitor Locks</ulink>. |

| <title>Signals</title> |
| |
| <para>Whenever the inhibition state or idle hint changes, <function>PropertyChanged</function> |
| signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>SessionNew</function>, <function>SessionRemoved</function>, |
| <function>UserNew</function>, <function>UserRemoved</function>, <function>SeatNew</function>, and |
| <function>SeatRemoved</function> signals are sent each time a session is created or removed, a user |
| logs in or out, or a seat is added or removed. They each contain the ID of the object plus the object |
| path.</para> |
| |
| <para>The <function>PrepareForShutdown()</function> and <function>PrepareForSleep()</function> signals |
| are sent right before (with the argument <literal>true</literal>) or after (with the argument |
| <literal>false</literal>) the system goes down for reboot/poweroff and suspend/hibernate, |
| respectively. This may be used by applications to save data on disk, release memory, or do other jobs |
| that should be done shortly before shutdown/sleep, in conjunction with delay inhibitor locks. After |
| completion of this work they should release their inhibition locks in order to not delay the operation |
| any further. For more information see |
| <ulink url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit">Inhibitor Locks</ulink>. |

| <title>Methods</title> |
| |
| <para><function>Terminate()</function>, <function>Activate()</function>, <function>Lock()</function>, |
| <function>Unlock()</function>, and <function>Kill()</function> work similarly to the respective calls on |
| the <interfacename>Manager</interfacename> object.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetIdleHint()</function> is called by the session object to update the idle state |
| of the session whenever it changes.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>TakeControl()</function> allows a process to take exclusive managed device |
| access-control for that session. Only one D-Bus connection can be a controller for a given session at any |
| time. If the <varname>force</varname> argument is set (root only), an existing controller is kicked |
| out and replaced. Otherwise, this method fails if there is already a controller. Note that this method is |
| limited to D-Bus users with the effective UID set to the user of the session or root.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ReleaseControl()</function> drops control of a given session. Closing the D-Bus |
| connection implicitly releases control as well. See <function>TakeControl()</function> for more |
| information. This method also releases all devices for which the controller requested ownership via |
| <function>TakeDevice()</function>.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetType()</function> allows the type of the session to be changed dynamically. It can |
| only be called by session's current controller. If <function>TakeControl()</function> has not been |
| called, this method will fail. In addition, the session type will be reset to its original value once |
| control is released, either by calling <function>ReleaseControl()</function> or closing the D-Bus |
| connection. This should help prevent a session from entering an inconsistent state, for example if the |
| controller crashes. The only argument <varname>type</varname> is the new session type.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>TakeDevice()</function> allows a session controller to get a file descriptor for a |
| specific device. Pass in the major and minor numbers of the character device and |
| <filename>systemd-logind</filename> will return a file descriptor for the device. Only a limited set of |
| device-types is currently supported (but may be extended). <filename>systemd-logind</filename> |
| automatically mutes the file descriptor if the session is inactive and resumes it once the session is |
| activated again. This guarantees that a session can only access session devices if the session is |
| active. Note that this revoke/resume mechanism is asynchronous and may happen at any given time. This |
| only works on devices that are attached to the seat of the given session. A process is not required to |
| have direct access to the device node. <filename>systemd-logind</filename> only requires you to be the |
| active session controller (see <function>TakeControl()</function>). Also note that any device can only |
| be requested once. As long as you don't release it, further <function>TakeDevice()</function> calls |
| will fail.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ReleaseDevice()</function> releases a device again (see |
| <function>TakeDevice()</function>). This is also implicitly done by |
| <function>ReleaseControl()</function> or when closing the D-Bus connection.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function> allows a session controller to synchronously pause a |
| device after receiving a <function>PauseDevice(<literal>pause</literal>)</function> signal. Forced |
| signals (or after an internal timeout) are automatically completed by |
| <filename>systemd-logind</filename> asynchronously.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetLockedHint()</function> may be used to set the "locked hint" to |
| <varname>locked</varname>, i.e. information whether the session is locked. This is intended to be used |
| by the desktop environment to tell <command>systemd-logind</command> when the session is locked and |
| unlocked.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>SetBrightness()</function> may be used to set the display brightness. This is intended |
| to be used by the desktop environment and allows unprivileged programs to access hardware settings in |
| a controlled way. The <varname>subsystem</varname> parameter specifies a kernel subsystem, either |
| <literal>backlight</literal> or <literal>leds</literal>. The <varname>name</varname> parameter |
| specifies a device name under the specified subsystem. The <varname>brightness</varname> parameter |
| specifies the brightness. The range is defined by individual drivers, see |
| <filename>/sys/class/<varname>subsystem</varname>/<varname>name</varname>/max_brightness</filename>. |
| </para> |
| </refsect2> |

| <refsect2> |
| <title>Signals</title> |
| |
| <para>The active session controller exclusively gets <function>PauseDevice</function> and |
| <function>ResumeDevice</function> events for any device it requested via |
| <function>TakeDevice()</function>. They notify the controller whenever a device is paused or resumed. A |
| device is never resumed if its session is inactive. Also note that <function>PauseDevice</function> |
| signals are sent before the <function>PropertyChanged</function> signal for the |
| <function>Active</function> state. The inverse is true for <function>ResumeDevice</function>. A device |
| may remain paused for unknown reasons even though the <interfacename>Session</interfacename> is active. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>A <function>PauseDevice</function> signal carries the major and minor numbers and a string describing the |
| type as arguments. <function>force</function> means the device was already paused by |
| <filename>systemd-logind</filename> and the signal is only an asynchronous |
| notification. <function>pause</function> means <filename>systemd-logind</filename> grants you a limited amount of time to pause the device. You must respond to this via |
| <function>PauseDeviceComplete()</function>. This synchronous pausing mechanism is used for |
| backwards-compatibility to VTs and <filename>systemd-logind</filename> is free to not make use of |
| it. It is also free to send a forced <function>PauseDevice</function> if you don't respond in a timely |
| manner (or for any other reason). <function>gone</function> means the device was unplugged from the |
| system and you will no longer get any notifications about it. There is no need to call |
| <function>ReleaseDevice()</function>. You may call <function>TakeDevice()</function> again if a new |
| device is assigned the major+minor combination.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>ResumeDevice</function> is sent whenever a session is active and a device is |
| resumed. It carries the major/minor numbers as arguments and provides a new open file descriptor. You should |
| switch to the new descriptor and close the old one. They are not guaranteed to have the same underlying |
| open file descriptor in the kernel (except for a limited set of device types).</para> |
| |
| <para>Whenever <function>Active</function> or the idle state changes, |
| <function>PropertyChanged</function> signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para> |
| |
| <para><function>Lock</function>/<function>Unlock</function> is sent when the session is asked to be |
| screen-locked/unlocked. A session manager of the session should listen to this signal and act |
| accordingly. This signal is sent out as a result of the <function>Lock()</function> and |
| <function>Unlock()</function> methods, respectively.</para> |
