DESCRIPTION
       seatd provides central seat management, mediating access to shared
       resources such as displays and input devices in a multi-session, multi-
       seat environment.

       seatd operates over a UNIX domain socket, with libseat providing the
       client-side of the protocol.

       The location of the socket for seatd is set at compile-time.

ENVIRONMENT
       SEATD_VTBOUND
           If set to "0", the seat will not be bound to a VT.

       The libseat library, <libseat.h>, seatd-launch(1)
