+<title>Overview of Session Management</title>
+
+<abstract>
+<para>The purpose of the X Session Management Protocol (XSMP) is to provide a uniform mechanism for users to save and restore their sessions. A <emphasis remap='I'>session</emphasis> is a group of clients, each of which has a particular state. The session is controlled by a network service called the <emphasis remap='I'>session manager</emphasis>. 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 <emphasis remap='I'>client</emphasis> 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.</para>

+<title>The Session Management Library</title>
+<abstract>
+<para>The Session Management Library (SMlib) 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:</para>
+<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>Some applications will use both sets of functions and act as <emphasis remap='I'>nested session managers</emphasis>. 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 <emphasis remap='I'>client-ID</emphasis> 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 <function>SmRestartCommand</function>. 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 <function>SmRestartCommand</function> 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 (ICE) 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 <function>IceProcessMessages</function> function. <function>IceProcessMessages</function> 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 <function>IceProcessMessages</function> 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 <function>SmcOpenConnection</function> in order to open a connection with a session manager. <function>SmcOpenConnection</function> will internally make a call into <function>IceOpenConnection</function> 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 <function>IceListenForConnections</function> in order to start listening for connections from clients. Once a connection attempt is detected, <function>IceAcceptConnection</function> 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 <emphasis remap='I'>Inter-Client Exchange Library</emphasis> standard.</para>

+
+<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;<symbol role='Pn'>X11/SM/SMlib.h</symbol>&gt;. This header file defines all of the SMlib data structures and function prototypes. <function>SMlib.h</function> includes the header file &lt;<symbol role='Pn'>X11/SM/SM.h</symbol>&gt;, which defines all of the SMlib constants.</para>
+

+
+<para>An attempt will be made to use the first network ID. If that fails, an attempt will be made using the second network ID, and so on.</para>
+
+<para>After the connection is established, <function>SmcOpenConnection</function> registers the client with the session manager. If the client is being restarted from a previous session, previous_id should contain a null terminated string representing the client ID from the previous session. If the client is first joining the session, previous_id should be set to NULL. If previous_id is specified but is determined to be invalid by the session manager, SMlib will re-register the client with previous_id set to NULL.</para>
+
+<para>If <function>SmcOpenConnection</function> succeeds, it returns an opaque connection pointer of type <function>SmcConn</function> and the client_id_ret argument contains the client ID to be used for this session. The client_id_ret should be freed with a call to <function>free</function> when no longer needed. On failure, <function>SmcOpenConnection</function> returns NULL, and the reason for failure is returned in error_string_ret.</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>The context argument indicates how willing the client is to share the ICE connection with other protocols. If context is NULL, then the caller is always willing to share the connection. If context is not NULL, then the caller is not willing to use a previously opened ICE connection that has a different non-NULL context associated with it.</para>
+
+<para>As previously discussed (section 3, ``Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE''), the client will have to keep track of when ICE connections are created or destroyed (using <function>IceAddConnectionWatch</function> and <function>IceRemoveConnectionWatch</function> and will have to call <function>IceProcessMessages</function> each time a <function>select</function> shows that there is data to read on an ICE connection. For further information, see the <emphasis remap='I'>Inter-Client Exchange Library</emphasis> 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 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 <function>SmcSetProperties</function> to update the properties indicating how to restart the client.

+
+<para>If interact_style is <function>SmInteractStyleNone</function> the client must not interact with the user while saving state. If interact_style is <function>SmInteractStyleErrors</function> the client may interact with the user only if an error condition arises. If interact_style is <function>SmInteractStyleAny</function> then the client may interact with the user for any purpose. Because only one client can interact with the user at a time, the client must call <function>SmcInteractRequest</function> and wait for an &ldquo;Interact&rdquo; message from the session manager. When the client is done interacting with the user, it calls <function>SmcInteractDone</function> The client may only call <function>SmcInteractRequest</function> after it receives a &ldquo;Save Yourself&rdquo; message and before it calls <function>SmcSaveYourselfDone</function></para>

+<para>If save_type is <function>SmSaveLocal</function> 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 save_type is <function>SmSaveBoth</function> the client should do both of these (it should first commit the data to permanent storage before updating its properties).</para>

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>
