    <title>Overview of Session Management</title>
  
    <abstract>
      <para>
  The purpose of the X Session Management Protocol (<acronym>XSMP</acronym>)
  is to provide a uniform mechanism for users to save and restore their
  sessions.  A <firstterm>session</firstterm> is a group of clients,
  each of which has a particular state.  The session is controlled by a
  network service called the <firstterm>session manager</firstterm>.
  The session manager issues commands to its clients on behalf of the
  user.  These commands may cause clients to save their state or to
  terminate.  It is expected that the client will save its state in such
  a way that the client can be restarted at a later time and resume its
  operation as if it had never been terminated.  A client's state might
  include information about the file currently being edited, the current
  position of the insertion point within the file, or the start of an
  uncommitted transaction.  The means by which clients are restarted is
  unspecified by this protocol.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  For purposes of this protocol, a <firstterm>client</firstterm> of the
  session manager is defined as a connection to the session manager.  A
  client is typically, though not necessarily, a process running an
  application program connected to an X display.  However, a client may
  be connected to more than one X display or not be connected to any X
  displays at all.

    <title>The Session Management Library</title>
    <abstract>
      <para>
  The Session Management Library (<abbrev>SMlib</abbrev>) is a low-level
  "C" language interface to XSMP.  It is expected that higher level
  toolkits, such as Xt, will hide many of the details of session
  management from clients.  Higher level toolkits might also be developed
  for session managers to use, but no such effort is currently under way.
      </para>
    </abstract>
  
    <para>
      SMlib has two parts to it:
      <itemizedlist mark='bullet'>
        <listitem><para>One set of functions for clients that want to be part of a session</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>One set of functions for session managers to call</para></listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </para>
  
    <para>
  Some applications will use both sets of functions and act as
  <firstterm>nested session managers</firstterm>.  That is, they will be
  both a session manager and a client of another session.  An example is
  a mail program that could start a text editor for editing the text of
  a mail message.  The mail program is part of a regular session and, at
  the same time, is also acting as a session manager to the editor.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  Clients initialize by connecting to the session manager and obtaining
  a <firstterm>client-ID</firstterm> that uniquely identifies them in
  the session.  The session manager maintains a list of properties for
  each client in the session.  These properties describe the client's
  environment and, most importantly, describe how the client can be
  restarted (via an <property>SmRestartCommand</property>). Clients are
  expected to save their state in such a way as to allow multiple
  instantiations of themselves to be managed independently.  For
  example, clients may use their client-ID as part of a filename in
  which to store the state for a particular instantiation.  The
  client-ID should be saved as part of the <property>SmRestartCommand</property>
  so that the client will retain the same ID after it is restarted.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  Once the client initializes itself with the session manager, it must
  be ready to respond to messages from the session manager.  For
  example, it might be asked to save its state or to terminate.  In the
  case of a shutdown, the session manager might give each client a
  chance to interact with the user and cancel the shutdown.
    </para>

  <chapter id='Understanding_SMlibs_Dependence_on_ICE'>
    <title>Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE</title>
  
    <para>
  The X Session Management Protocol is layered on top of the
  Inter-Client Exchange (<acronym>ICE</acronym>) Protocol.  The ICE
  protocol is designed to multiplex several protocols over a single
  connection.  As a result, working with SMlib requires a little
  knowledge of how the ICE library works.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  The ICE library utilizes callbacks to process messages.  When a client
  detects that there is data to read on an ICE connection, it should
  call the <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceProcessMessages'><function>IceProcessMessages</function></olink> function.
  <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceProcessMessages'><function>IceProcessMessages</function></olink> will read the message header
  and look at the major opcode in order to determine which protocol the
  message was intended for.  The appropriate protocol library will then
  be triggered to unpack the message and hand it off to the client via a
  callback.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  The main point to be aware of is that an application using SMlib must
  have some code that detects when there is data to read on an ICE
  connection.  This can be done via a <function>select</function> call
  on the file descriptor for the ICE connection, but more
  typically, <function>XtAppAddInput</function> will be used to register
  a callback that will invoke <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceProcessMessages'><function>IceProcessMessages</function></olink>
  each time there is data to read on the ICE connection.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  To further complicate things, knowing which file descriptors to
  call <function>select</function> on requires an understanding of how
  ICE connections are created.  On the client side, a call must be made
  to <xref linkend='SmcOpenConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/> in order to open a connection
  with a session manager.  <xref linkend='SmcOpenConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/> will
  internally makea call into <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceOpenConnection'><function>IceOpenConnection</function></olink>
  which will, in turn, determine if an ICE connection already exists
  between the client and session manager.  Most likely, a connection
  will not already exist and a new ICE connection will be created.  The
  main point to be aware of is that, on the client side, it is not
  obvious when ICE connections get created or destroyed, because
  connections are shared when possible.  To deal with this, the ICE
  library lets the application register watch procedures that will be
  invoked each time an ICE connection is opened or closed.  These watch
  procedures could be used to add or remove ICE file descriptors from
  the list of descriptors to call <function>select</function> on.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  On the session manager side, things work a bit differently.  The
  session manager has complete control over the creation of ICE
  connections.  The session manager has to first
  call <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceListenForConnections'><function>IceListenForConnections</function></olink> in order to start
  listening for connections from clients.  Once a connection attempt is
  detected, <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceAcceptConnection'><function>IceAcceptConnection</function></olink> must be called, and
  the session manager can simply add the new ICE file descriptor to the
  list of descriptors to call <function>select</function> on.
  
    </para>
  
    <para>
  For further information on the library functions related to ICE connections,
  see the <citetitle pubwork='article'>Inter-Client Exchange Library</citetitle>
  standard.

  </chapter>
  
  <chapter id='Header_Files_and_Library_Name'>
  <title>Header Files and Library Name</title>
  
    <para>
  Applications (both session managers and clients) should include the
  header file &lt;<filename class='headerfile'>X11/SM/SMlib.h</filename>&gt;.
  This header file defines all of the SMlib data structures and function
  prototypes.  <filename class='headerfile'>SMlib.h</filename> includes the
  header file &lt;<filename class='headerfile'>X11/SM/SM.h</filename>&gt;,
  which defines all of the SMlib constants.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  Because SMlib is dependent on ICE, applications should link against
  SMlib and ICElib by using
  <quote><option>-lSM</option> <option>-lICE</option></quote>.

  After the connection is established, <xref linkend='SmcOpenConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
  registers the client with the session manager.  If the client is being
  restarted from a previous session, <parameter>previous_id</parameter>
  should contain a null terminated string representing the client ID from the
  previous session.  If the client is first joining the session,
  <parameter>previous_id</parameter> should be set to <constant>NULL</constant>.
  If <parameter>previous_id</parameter> is specified but is determined
  to be invalid by the session manager, SMlib will re-register the
  client with <parameter>previous_id</parameter> set to <constant>NULL</constant>.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  If <xref linkend='SmcOpenConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/> succeeds, it returns an
  opaque connection pointer of type <function>SmcConn</function> and the
  <parameter>client_id_ret</parameter> argument contains the client ID to be
  used for this session.  The <parameter>client_id_ret</parameter> should be
  freed with a call to <function>free</function> when no longer needed.  On
  failure, <xref linkend='SmcOpenConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/> returns
  <constant>NULL</constant>, and the reason for failure is returned in
  <parameter>error_string_ret</parameter>.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  Note that SMlib uses the ICE protocol to establish a connection with
  the session manager.  If an ICE connection already exists between the
  client and session manager, it might be possible for the same ICE
  connection to be used for session management.
      </para>
  
      <para id='context_sharing'>
  The context argument indicates how willing the client is to share the
  ICE connection with other protocols.  If context is <constant>NULL</constant>,
  then the caller is always willing to share the connection.  If context is not
  <constant>NULL</constant>, then the caller is not willing to use a previously
  opened ICE connection that has a different non-<constant>NULL</constant>
  context associated with it.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  As previously discussed
  (<link linkend='Understanding_SMlibs_Dependence_on_ICE'>section 3,
  &ldquo;Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE&rdquo;</link>), the
  client will have to keep track of when ICE connections are created or
  destroyed (using <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceAddConnectionWatch'><function>IceAddConnectionWatch</function></olink>
  and <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceRemoveConnectionWatch'><function>IceRemoveConnectionWatch</function></olink> and will have to
  call <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceProcessMessages'><function>IceProcessMessages</function></olink> each time

  <citetitle pubwork='article'>Inter-Client Exchange Library</citetitle>
  standard.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  The callbacks argument contains a set of callbacks used to respond to
  session manager events.  The mask argument specifies which callbacks
  are set.  All of the callbacks specified in this version of SMlib are
  mandatory.  The mask argument is necessary in order to maintain
  backwards compatibility in future versions of the library.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  The following values may be ORed together to obtain a

  The session manager sends a &ldquo;Save Yourself&rdquo; message to a
  client either to checkpoint it or just before termination so that it
  can save its state.  The client responds with zero or more calls
  to <xref linkend='SmcSetProperties' xrefstyle='select: title'/> to update the properties
  indicating how to restart the client.  When all the properties have
  been set, the client calls <xref linkend='SmcSaveYourselfDone' xrefstyle='select: title'/>

  If <parameter>interact_style</parameter> is

  client may interact with the user only if an error condition arises.
  If <parameter>interact_style</parameter> is

  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveLocal</constant> the
  client must update the properties to reflect its current state.  Specifically,
  it should save enough information to restore the state as seen by the
  user of this client.  It should not affect the state as seen by other users.
  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveGlobal</constant>
  the user wants the client to commit all of its data to permanent, globally
  accessible storage.
  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveBoth</constant>
  the client should do both of these (it should first commit the data to
  permanent storage before updating its properties).

  The interaction is different depending on whether or not shutdown is
  set.  If not shutting down, the client should save its state and wait

  The return value of <xref linkend='SmsRegisterClientReply' xrefstyle='select: title'/> is
  zero for failure and a positive value for success.  Failure will occur

  it's own internal needs.

  Otherwise, <parameter>client_id</parameter> should be a unique ID freshly

  Note that once a client ID has been assigned to the client, the client
  keeps this ID indefinitely.  If the client is terminated and
  restarted, it will be reassigned the same ID.  It is desirable to be
  able to pass client IDs around from machine to machine, from user to
  user, and from session manager to session manager, while retaining the
  identity of the client.  This, combined with the indefinite
  persistence of client IDs, means that client IDs need to be globally
  unique.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  You should call the <xref linkend='SmsGenerateClientID' xrefstyle='select: title'/> function
  to generate a globally unique client ID.

      <para>
  The session manager sends a &ldquo;Save Yourself&rdquo; message to a
  client either to checkpoint it or just before termination so that it
  can save its state.  The client responds with zero or more &ldquo;Set
  Properties&rdquo; messages to update the properties indicating how to
  restart the client.  When all the properties have been set, the client
  sends a &ldquo;Save Yourself Done&rdquo; message.
      </para>
  
      <para>
  If <parameter>interact_style</parameter>
  is <constant>SmInteractStyleNone</constant> the

  If <parameter>interact_style</parameter>
  is <constant>SmInteractStyleErrors</constant> the
  client may interact with the user only if an error condition arises.
  If <parameter>interact_style</parameter>
  is <constant>SmInteractStyleAny</constant> then the
  client may interact with the user for any purpose.  The client must
  send an &ldquo;Interact Request&rdquo; message and wait for an
  &ldquo;Interact&rdquo; message from the session manager before it can
  interact with the user.  When the client is done interacting with the
  user, it should send an &ldquo;Interact Done&rdquo; message.  The
  &ldquo;Interact Request&rdquo; message can be sent any time after a
  &ldquo;Save Yourself&rdquo; and before a &ldquo;Save Yourself
  Done.&rdquo;
      </para>
  
      <para>
  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveLocal</constant>
  the client must update the properties to reflect its current state.
  Specifically, it should save enough information to restore the state as
  seen by the user of this client.  It should not affect the state as seen
  by other users.
  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveGlobal</constant>
  the user wants the client to commit all of its data to permanent, globally
  accessible storage.
  If <parameter>save_type</parameter> is <constant>SmSaveBoth</constant>
  the client should do both of these (it should first commit the data to
  permanent storage before updating its properties).
      </para>
  
      <para>
  The <parameter>shutdown</parameter> argument specifies whether the session
  is being shut down.  The interaction is different depending on whether or not
  shutdown is set.  If not shutting down, then the client can save and
  resume normal operation.  If shutting down, the client must save and
  then must prevent interaction until it receives either a
  &ldquo;Die&rdquo; or a &ldquo;Shutdown Cancelled,&rdquo; because
  anything the user does after the save will be lost.
      </para>

  The <parameter>fast</parameter> argument specifies that the client should

  The X Session Management Protocol defines a list of predefined
  properties, several of which are required to be set by the client.
  The following table specifies the predefined properties and indicates
  which ones are required.  Each property has a type associated with it.
    </para>
  
    <para>
  A type of <type>SmCARD8</type> indicates that there is a single 1-byte value.
  A type of <type>SmARRAY8</type> indicates that there is a single array of bytes.
  A type of <type>SmLISTofARRAY8</type> indicates that there is a list of array of
  bytes.

  On <acronym>POSIX</acronym>-based systems, this is of

        <para>
  A client that sets the <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property>
  to <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant> uses this property to specify a
  command that undoes the effect of the client and removes any saved state.
  As an example, consider a user that runs <command>xmodmap</command> which
  registers with the Session Manager,
  sets <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property>
  to <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant>, and then
  terminates.  To allow the Session Manager (at the user's request) to
  undo this, <command>xmodmap</command> would register a
  <property>SmResignCommand</property> that undoes the effects of
  the <command>xmodmap</command>.

      <listitem><para><property>SmRestartStyleHint</property></para>

  The <constant>SmRestartIfRunning</constant> style is used in the usual case.
  The client should be restarted in the next session if it was running at
  the end of the current session.
        </para>
  
        <para>
  The <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant> style is used to tell the Session
  Manager that the application should be restarted in the next session even if
  it exits before the current session is terminated.  It should be noted that
  this is only a hint and the Session Manager will follow the policies
  specified by its users in determining what applications to restart.
        </para>
  
        <para>
  A client that uses <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant> should also set the
  <property>SmResignCommand</property> and <property>SmShutdownCommand</property>
  properties to commands that undo the state of the client after it exits.
        </para>
  
        <para>
  The SmRestartImmediately style is like SmRestartAnyway, but, in addition, the client is meant to run continuously.  If the client exits, the Session Manager should try to restart it in the current session.
        </para>
  
        <para>
  <constant>SmRestartNever</constant> style specifies that the client does not
  wish to be restarted in the next session.
        </para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem><para><property>SmShutdownCommand</property></para>
        <para>
  This command is executed at shutdown time to clean up after a client
  that is no longer running but retained its state by setting
  <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property> to
  <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant>.  The client must not remove any saved
  state as the client is still part of the session.  As an
  example, consider a client that turns on a camera at start up time.
  This client then exits.  At session shutdown, the user wants the
  camera turned off.  This client would set the
  <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property> to
  <constant>SmRestartAnyway</constant> and would register
  a <property>SmShutdownCommand</property> that would turn off the camera.
