.SH "NAME" sd-path - APIs to query file system paths


.SH "SYNOPSIS"

#include <systemd/sd-path.h>


.HP 912u


pkg-config --cflags --libs libsystemd


.SH "DESCRIPTION"


.PP sd-path.h is part of libsystemd(3) and provides APIs to query file system paths. This functionality is similar to the command-line functionality provided by systemd-path(1).


.PP See sd_path_lookup(3) for information about the functions available.


.SH "NOTES"


.PP Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.


.PP The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
