# 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.
