                be used to monitor login sessions, users, seats, and
                virtual machines/containers. Via a monitor object a
                file descriptor can be integrated into an application
                defined event loop which is woken up each time a user
                logs in, logs out or a seat is added or removed, or a
                session, user, seat or virtual machine/container
                changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a
                string which can be "<code class="literal">seat</code>" (to get
                only notifications about seats being added, removed or
                changed), "<code class="literal">session</code>" (to get only
                notifications about sessions being created or removed
                or changed), "<code class="literal">uid</code>" (to get only
                notifications when a user changes state in respect to
                logins) or "<code class="literal">machine</code>" (to get only
                notifications when a virtual machine or container is
                started or stopped). If notifications shall be
                generated in all these conditions, <code class="constant">NULL</code> may be
                passed. Note that in the future additional categories
                may be defined. The second parameter returns a monitor
                object and needs to be freed with the
                <code class="function">sd_login_monitor_unref()</code> call
                after use.</p><p><code class="function">sd_login_monitor_unref()</code>
                may be used to destroy a monitor object. Note that
                this will invalidate any file descriptor returned by
                <code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</code>.</p><p><code class="function">sd_login_monitor_flush()</code>
                may be used to reset the wakeup state of the monitor
                object. Whenever an event causes the monitor to wake
                up the event loop via the file descriptor this
                function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
                state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor
                will immediately wake up the event loop again.</p><p><code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</code>
                may be used to retrieve the file descriptor of the
                monitor object that may be integrated in an
                application defined event loop, based around
                <a href="poll.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">poll</span>(2)</span></a>
                or a similar interface. The application should include
                the returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the
                events mask returned by
                <code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_events()</code>. It
                should pass a timeout value as returned by
                <code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</code>. Whenever
                a wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be
                reset via
                <code class="function">sd_login_monitor_flush()</code>. An
                application needs to reread the login state with a
                function like
                <a href="sd_get_seats.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_get_seats</span>(3)</span></a>
                or similar to determine what changed.</p><p><code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_events()</code>
                will return the <code class="function">poll()</code> mask to
                wait for. This function will return a combination of
                <code class="constant">POLLIN</code>, <code class="constant">POLLOUT</code>
                and similar to fill into the
                "<code class="literal">.events</code>" field of <code class="varname">struct
                pollfd</code>.</p><p><code class="function">sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</code>
                will return a timeout value for usage in
                <code class="function">poll()</code>. This returns a value in
                microseconds since the epoch of <code class="constant">CLOCK_MONOTONIC</code>
                for timing out <code class="function">poll()</code> in
                <code class="varname">timeout_usec</code>. See
                <a href="clock_gettime.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clock_gettime</span>(2)</span></a>
                for details about
                <code class="constant">CLOCK_MONOTONIC</code>. If there is no
                timeout to wait for this will fill in
                <code class="constant">(uint64_t) -1</code> instead. Note that
                <code class="function">poll()</code> takes a relative timeout
                in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout in
                microseconds. To convert the absolute 'us' timeout into
                relative 'ms', use code like the following:</p><pre class="programlisting">uint64_t t;
int msec;
sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &amp;t);
if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
        msec = -1;
else {
        struct timespec ts;
        uint64_t n;
        clock_getttime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;ts);
        n = (uint64_t) ts.tv_sec * 1000000 + ts.tv_nsec / 1000;
        msec = t &gt; n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
}</pre><p>The code above does not do any error checking
                for brevity's sake. The calculated <code class="varname">msec</code>
                integer can be passed directly as
                <code class="function">poll()</code>'s timeout
                parameter.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm214197859856"></a><h2 id="Return Value">Return Value<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Return%20Value">¶</a></h2><p>On success,
