DESCRIPTION
dde-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 libseat-compatible socket path defaults to the compile-time location, but can be overridden with -s. When -c is specified, dde-seatd also exposes a separate DDE control socket used by DDM to manage grouped VTs.
ENVIRONMENT
SEATD_VTBOUND
If set to "0", the seat will not be bound to a VT.
