<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.

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.
|
||
|

|
||
|

</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.

<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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

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

|
<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

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 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.

(<link linkend='Understanding_SMlibs_Dependence_on_ICE'>section 3,

The session manager sends a “Save Yourself” 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

If <parameter>interact_style</parameter> is

<constant>SmInteractStyleAny</constant> 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 <xref linkend='SmcInteractRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/> and wait for an
|

|
“Interact” message from the session manager. When the
|

|
|
client is done interacting with the user, it
|

|
|
calls <xref linkend='SmcInteractDone' xrefstyle='select: title'/> The client may only
|

call <xref linkend='SmcInteractRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/> after it receives a

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>

set. If not shutting down, the client should save its state and wait

for a “Save Complete” message. If shutting down, the

The session manager sends a “Shutdown Cancelled” message
|
||
|
|
when the user cancelled the shutdown during an interaction
|
||
|
|
(see <link linkend='Interacting_With_the_User'>section 5.5,
|
||
|
|
“Interacting With the User”</link>). The client can now
|
||
|
|
continue as if the shutdown had never happened. If the client has not
|
||
|
|
called <xref linkend='SmcSaveYourselfDone' xrefstyle='select: title'/> yet, it can either
|
||
|
|
abort the save and then call <xref linkend='SmcSaveYourselfDone' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
|
||
|
|
with the success argument set to <constant>False</constant> or it can
|
||
|
|
continue with the save and then call <xref linkend='SmcSaveYourselfDone' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
|
||
|
|
with the <parameter>success</parameter> argument set to reflect the outcome
|

of the save.

|

Otherwise, it contains a list of null-terminated Compound Text strings

Note that SMlib used the ICE protocol to establish a connection with
|
||
|
|
the session manager, and various protocols other than session
|
||
|
|
management may be active on the ICE connection.
|
||
|
|
When <xref linkend='SmcCloseConnection' xrefstyle='select: title'/> is called, the ICE
|
||
|
|
connection will be closed only if all protocols have been shutdown on
|
||
|
|
the connection. Check the ICElib standard
|
||
|
|
for <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceAddConnectionWatch'><function>IceAddConnectionWatch</function></olink>
|
||
|
|
and <olink targetdoc='ICElib' targetptr='IceRemoveConnectionWatch'><function>IceRemoveConnectionWatch</function></olink> to learn how to set
|
||
|
|
up a callback to be invoked each time an ICE connection is opened or
|
||
|
|
closed. Typically this callback adds/removes the ICE file descriptor
|
||
|
|
from the list of active descriptors to call <function>select</function> on
|
||
|
|
(or calls <function>XtAppAddInput</function> or
|

<function>XtRemoveInput</function>).

function to listen for new connections. Afterwards, each time a

Each time a new client connects to the session manager,

the <xref linkend='SmsNewClientProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/> callback is invoked. The

session manager obtains a new opaque connection object that it should

use for all future interaction with the client. At this time, the

session manager must also register a set of callbacks to respond to
|

the different messages that the client might send.

Note that once a client ID has been assigned to the client, the client

keeps this ID indefinitely. If the client is terminated and

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.

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.

A client that sets the <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property>

sets <property>SmRestartStyleHint</property>

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

As stated earlier, the session management protocol is layered on top
|
||
|
|
of ICE. Authentication occurs at two levels in the ICE protocol:
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<itemizedlist mark='bullet'>

<listitem><para>The first is when an ICE connection is opened.</para></listitem>

implementation-dependent (that is., dependent on the ICElib and SMlib
