Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b1de39dec8 man: make separate "Errors" sections subsection of "Return value"
Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible
return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders
refsect2 much less prominently.

Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> may be used to
determine which session is currently active on a seat, if there is
any. Returns the session identifier and the user identifier of the
Unix user the session is belonging to. Either the session or the
user identifier parameter can be passed <constant>NULL</constant>,
in case only one of the parameters shall be queried. The returned
string needs to be freed with the libc
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use.</para>
<para><function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> may be used to
determine all sessions on the specified seat. Returns two arrays,
one (<constant>NULL</constant> terminated) with the session
identifiers of the sessions and one with the user identifiers of
the Unix users the sessions belong to. An additional parameter may
be used to return the number of entries in the latter array. This
value is the same the return value, if the latter is nonnegative.
The two arrays and the last parameter may be passed as
<constant>NULL</constant> in case these values need not to be
determined. The arrays and the strings referenced by them need to
be freed with the libc
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
<constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
equivalent to an empty array.</para>
<para><function>sd_seat_can_multi_session()</function> may be used
to determine whether a specific seat is capable of multi-session,
i.e. allows multiple login sessions in parallel (with only one
being active at a time).</para>
<para><function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> may be used to
determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
is useful as a text console.</para>
<para><function>sd_seat_can_graphical()</function> may be used to
determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality,
i.e. is useful as a graphics display.</para>
<para>If the <varname>seat</varname> parameter of any of these
functions is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>, the operation is
executed for the seat of the session of the calling process, if
there is any.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para> On success, <function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> returns 0 or a positive integer. On success,
<function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> returns the number of entries in the session identifier
array. If the test succeeds, <function>sd_seat_can_multi_session</function>,
<function>sd_seat_can_tty</function> and <function>sd_seat_can_graphical</function> return a positive
integer, if it fails 0. On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
