Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<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. The
two arrays and the latter 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>
<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>
