Description

The libsystemd library provides functions that allow interacting with various interfaces provided by the systemd(1) service manager, as well as various other functions and constants useful for implementing services in general.

See sd-bus(3), sd-bus-errors(3), sd-daemon(3), sd-device(3), sd-event(3), sd-hwdb(3), sd-id128(3), sd-journal(3), sd-json(3), sd-login(3), sd-path(3), and sd-varlink(3) for information about different parts of the library interface.

Interface stability

Strict backwards-compatibility is maintained for the API (application programming interface) and ABI (application binary interface). Symbol versioning is used, with symbols only added and never removed.
