    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> may be called to check
    whether the specified file descriptor refers to a FIFO or pipe. If
    the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
    <constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the FIFO is bound
    to the specified file system path.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_socket()</function> may be called to check
    whether the specified file descriptor refers to a socket. If the
    <parameter>family</parameter> parameter is not
    <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, it is checked whether the socket
    is of the specified family (<constant>AF_UNIX</constant>,
    <constant>AF_INET</constant>, …). If the <parameter>type</parameter>
    parameter is not 0, it is checked whether the socket is of the
    specified type (<constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>,
    <constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>, …). If the
    <parameter>listening</parameter> parameter is positive, it is
    checked whether the socket is in accepting mode, i.e.
    <function>listen()</function> has been called for it. If
    <parameter>listening</parameter> is 0, it is checked whether the
    socket is not in this mode. If the parameter is negative, no such
    check is made. The <parameter>listening</parameter> parameter
    should only be used for stream sockets and should be set to a
    negative value otherwise.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_socket_inet()</function> is similar to
    <function>sd_is_socket()</function>, but optionally checks the
    IPv4 or IPv6 port number the socket is bound to, unless
    <parameter>port</parameter> is zero. For this call
    <parameter>family</parameter> must be passed as either
    <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, <constant>AF_INET</constant>, or
    <constant>AF_INET6</constant>.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_socket_sockaddr()</function> is similar to
    <function>sd_is_socket_inet()</function>, but checks if the socket is bound to the
    address specified by <parameter>addr</parameter>. The
    <structfield>family</structfield> specified by <parameter>addr</parameter> must be
    either <constant>AF_INET</constant> or <constant>AF_INET6</constant> and
    <parameter>addr_len</parameter> must be large enough for that family. If
    <parameter>addr</parameter> specifies a non-zero port, it is also checked if the
    socket is bound to this port. In addition, for IPv6, if <parameter>addr</parameter>
    specifies non-zero <structfield>sin6_flowinfo</structfield> or
    <structfield>sin6_scope_id</structfield>, it is checked if the socket has the same
    values.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_socket_unix()</function> is similar to
    <function>sd_is_socket()</function> but optionally checks the
    <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> path the socket is bound to, unless
    the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is
    <constant>NULL</constant>. For normal file system
    <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets, set the
    <parameter>length</parameter> parameter to 0. For Linux abstract
    namespace sockets, set the <parameter>length</parameter> to the
    size of the address, including the initial 0 byte, and set the
    <parameter>path</parameter> to the initial 0 byte of the socket
    address.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_mq()</function> may be called to check
    whether the specified file descriptor refers to a POSIX message
    queue. If the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
    <constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the message queue
    is bound to the specified name.</para>

    <para><function>sd_is_special()</function> may be called to check
    whether the specified file descriptor refers to a special file. If
    the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
    <constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the file
    descriptor is bound to the specified filename. Special files in
    this context are character device nodes and files in
    <filename>/proc</filename> or <filename>/sys</filename>.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
    code. If the file descriptor is of the specified type and bound to
    the specified address, a positive return value is returned,
    otherwise zero.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Notes</title>

    <xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>

    <para>Internally, these function use a combination of
    <filename>fstat()</filename> and
    <filename>getsockname()</filename> to check the file descriptor
    type and where it is bound to.</para>
