NAME
sd_machine_get_class, sd_machine_get_ifindices - Determine the class and network interface indices of a locally running virtual machine or container
SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-login.h>
int sd_machine_get_class(const char machine, char **/class/);*
int sd_machine_get_ifindices(const char machine, int **/ret_ifindices/);*
DESCRIPTION
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. The vm or container must be registered with systemd-machined.service*(8). The output parameter ret_ifindices may be passed as *NULL when the output value is not needed. The returned array needs to be freed with the libc *free*(3) call after use.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. sd_machine_get_ifindices() returns the number of the relevant network interfaces. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
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
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd *pkg-config*(1) file.
