SD_MACHINE_GET_CLASS(3)     sd_machine_get_class     SD_MACHINE_GET_CLASS(3)

NAME         top

       sd_machine_get_class, sd_machine_get_ifindices - Determine the class
       and network interface indices of a locally running virtual machine or
       container.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-login.h>
       int sd_machine_get_class(const char* machine, char **class);
       int sd_machine_get_ifindices(const char* machine, int **ifindices);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_machine_get_class() may be used to determine the class of a
       locally running virtual machine or container that is registered with
       systemd-machined.service(8). The string returned is either "vm" or
       "container". The returned string needs to be freed with the libc
       free(3) call after use.
       sd_machine_get_ifindices() 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 systemd-machined.service(8). The returned
       array needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use.

RETURN VALUE         top

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

ERRORS         top

       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -ENXIO
           The specified machine does not exist or is currently not running.
       -EINVAL
           An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where that
           is not accepted).
       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

NOTES         top

       The sd_machine_get_class() and sd_machine_get_ifindices() interfaces
       are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked
       to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
