README
Saddle
Saddle is an asynchronous Rust library designed to simplify the management of user seats in a Linux environment. It provides a Rust-native, future-based API for obtaining and releasing user sessions, opening and closing devices securely, and monitoring session state changes.
Features
- Async-first API: Built with Tokio and designed for asynchronous applications
- Session Management: Obtain, release, and monitor user sessions
- Device Access: Open and close devices securely without requiring root privileges
- VT Switching: Support for switching between virtual terminals
- Event Streams: Monitor session state changes with async streams
Supported Backends
Currently, Saddle uses the freedesktop login1 interface as its backend, which
is compatible with both systemd-logind and elogind systems.
Future releases will include support for seatd IPC interface.
Examples
For a comprehensive example demonstrating how to use Saddle with libinput for handling input devices and implementing VT switching, see the VT switcher example.
