DESCRIPTION

34       seatd provides central seat management, mediating access to shared re‐
35       sources such as displays and input devices in a multi-session, multi-
36       seat environment.
37
38       seatd operates over a UNIX domain socket, with libseat providing the
39       client-side of the protocol.
40
41       The location of the socket for seatd is set at compile-time.
