The purpose of the X Session Management Protocol (<acronym class="acronym">XSMP</acronym>)
is to provide a uniform mechanism for users to save and restore their
sessions.  A <em class="firstterm">session</em> is a group of clients,
each of which has a particular state.  The session is controlled by a
network service called the <em class="firstterm">session manager</em>.
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.
    </p><p>
For purposes of this protocol, a <em class="firstterm">client</em> 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.
    </p></div></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a id="The_Session_Management_Library"></a>Chapter 2. The Session Management Library</h1></div></div></div><div class="abstract"><p class="title"><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>
The Session Management Library (<abbr class="abbrev">SMlib</abbr>) 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.
    </p></div><p>
    SMlib has two parts to it:
    </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: bullet; "><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>One set of functions for clients that want to be part of a session</p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>One set of functions for session managers to call</p></li></ul></div><p>
  </p><p>
Some applications will use both sets of functions and act as
<em class="firstterm">nested session managers</em>.  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.
  </p><p>
Clients initialize by connecting to the session manager and obtaining
a <em class="firstterm">client-ID</em> 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 <span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span>). 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 <span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span>
so that the client will retain the same ID after it is restarted.
  </p><p>
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.
  </p></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a id="Understanding_SMlibs_Dependence_on_ICE"></a>Chapter 3. Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE</h1></div></div></div><p>
The X Session Management Protocol is layered on top of the
Inter-Client Exchange (<acronym class="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.
  </p><p>
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 <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceProcessMessages</code></span> function.
<span class="olink"><code class="function">IceProcessMessages</code></span> 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.
  </p><p>
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 <code class="function">select</code> call
on the file descriptor for the ICE connection, but more
typically, <code class="function">XtAppAddInput</code> will be used to register
a callback that will invoke <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceProcessMessages</code></span>
each time there is data to read on the ICE connection.
  </p><p>
To further complicate things, knowing which file descriptors to
call <code class="function">select</code> on requires an understanding of how
ICE connections are created.  On the client side, a call must be made
to <a class="xref" href="#SmcOpenConnection"><code class="function">SmcOpenConnection</code></a> in order to open a connection
with a session manager.  <a class="xref" href="#SmcOpenConnection"><code class="function">SmcOpenConnection</code></a> will
internally makea call into <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceOpenConnection</code></span>
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 <code class="function">select</code> on.
  </p><p>
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 <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceListenForConnections</code></span> in order to start
listening for connections from clients.  Once a connection attempt is
detected, <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceAcceptConnection</code></span> must be called, and
the session manager can simply add the new ICE file descriptor to the
list of descriptors to call <code class="function">select</code> on.

  </p><p>
For further information on the library functions related to ICE connections,
see the “<span class="citetitle">Inter-Client Exchange Library</span>”
standard.
  </p></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a id="Header_Files_and_Library_Name"></a>Chapter 4. Header Files and Library Name</h1></div></div></div><p>
Applications (both session managers and clients) should include the
header file &lt;<code class="filename">X11/SM/SMlib.h</code>&gt;.
This header file defines all of the SMlib data structures and function
prototypes.  <code class="filename">SMlib.h</code> includes the
header file &lt;<code class="filename">X11/SM/SM.h</code>&gt;,
which defines all of the SMlib constants.
  </p><p>
Because SMlib is dependent on ICE, applications should link against
SMlib and ICElib by using

The <em class="parameter"><code>network_ids_list</code></em> argument is a
null-terminated string containing a list of network IDs for the session
manager, separated by commas. If <em class="parameter"><code>network_ids_list</code></em>
is <code class="constant">NULL</code>, the value of
the <code class="envar">SESSION_MANAGER</code> environment variable will be used.
Each network ID has the following format:

    </p><p>
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.
    </p><p>
After the connection is established, <a class="xref" href="#SmcOpenConnection"><code class="function">SmcOpenConnection</code></a>
registers the client with the session manager.  If the client is being
restarted from a previous session, <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em>
should contain a null terminated string representing the client ID from the
previous session.  If the client is first joining the session,
<em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> should be set to <code class="constant">NULL</code>.
If <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> is specified but is determined
to be invalid by the session manager, SMlib will re-register the
client with <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> set to <code class="constant">NULL</code>.
    </p><p>
If <a class="xref" href="#SmcOpenConnection"><code class="function">SmcOpenConnection</code></a> succeeds, it returns an
opaque connection pointer of type <code class="function">SmcConn</code> and the
<em class="parameter"><code>client_id_ret</code></em> argument contains the client ID to be
used for this session.  The <em class="parameter"><code>client_id_ret</code></em> should be
freed with a call to <code class="function">free</code> when no longer needed.  On
failure, <a class="xref" href="#SmcOpenConnection"><code class="function">SmcOpenConnection</code></a> returns
<code class="constant">NULL</code>, and the reason for failure is returned in
<em class="parameter"><code>error_string_ret</code></em>.
    </p><p>
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.
    </p><p><a id="context_sharing"></a>
The context argument indicates how willing the client is to share the
ICE connection with other protocols.  If context is <code class="constant">NULL</code>,
then the caller is always willing to share the connection.  If context is not
<code class="constant">NULL</code>, then the caller is not willing to use a previously
opened ICE connection that has a different non-<code class="constant">NULL</code>
context associated with it.
    </p><p>
As previously discussed
(<a class="link" href="#Understanding_SMlibs_Dependence_on_ICE" title="Chapter 3. Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE">section 3,
“Understanding SMlib's Dependence on ICE”</a>), the
client will have to keep track of when ICE connections are created or
destroyed (using <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceAddConnectionWatch</code></span>
and <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceRemoveConnectionWatch</code></span> and will have to
call <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceProcessMessages</code></span> each time
a <code class="function">select</code> shows that there is data to read on an
ICE connection.  For further information, see the
“<span class="citetitle">Inter-Client Exchange Library</span>”
standard.
    </p><p>
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.
    </p><p>
The following values may be ORed together to obtain a
<em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em> value:

      </p><table border="0" summary="Simple list" class="simplelist"><tr><td><code class="constant">SmcSaveYourselfProcMask</code></td></tr><tr><td><code class="constant">SmcDieProcMask</code></td></tr><tr><td><code class="constant">SmcSaveCompleteProcMask</code></td></tr><tr><td><code class="constant">SmcShutdownCancelledProcMask</code></td></tr></table><p>
    </p><p>
For each callback, the client can register a pointer to client data.
When SMlib invokes the callback, it will pass the client data pointer.

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 <a class="xref" href="#SmcSetProperties"><code class="function">SmcSetProperties</code></a> to update the properties
indicating how to restart the client.  When all the properties have
been set, the client calls <a class="xref" href="#SmcSaveYourselfDone"><code class="function">SmcSaveYourselfDone</code></a>
      </p><p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em> is
<code class="constant">SmInteractStyleNone</code> the
client must not interact with the user while saving state.
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em> is
<code class="constant">SmInteractStyleErrors</code> the
client may interact with the user only if an error condition arises.
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em> is
<code class="constant">SmInteractStyleAny</code> 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 <a class="xref" href="#SmcInteractRequest"><code class="function">SmcInteractRequest</code></a> and wait for an
“Interact” message from the session manager.  When the
client is done interacting with the user, it
calls <a class="xref" href="#SmcInteractDone"><code class="function">SmcInteractDone</code></a> The client may only
call <a class="xref" href="#SmcInteractRequest"><code class="function">SmcInteractRequest</code></a> after it receives a
“Save Yourself” message and before it
calls <a class="xref" href="#SmcSaveYourselfDone"><code class="function">SmcSaveYourselfDone</code></a>
      </p><p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveLocal</code> 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 <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveGlobal</code>
the user wants the client to commit all of its data to permanent, globally
accessible storage.
If <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveBoth</code>
the client should do both of these (it should first commit the data to
permanent storage before updating its properties).
      </p><p>
Some examples are as follows:

        </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: bullet; "><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
If a word processor were sent a “Save Yourself” with a
type of <code class="constant">SmSaveLocal</code> it could create a temporary
file that included the current contents of the file, the location of
the cursor, and other aspects of the current editing session.  It
would then update its <span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span> property with
enough information to find this temporary file.
	  </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
If a word processor were sent a “Save Yourself” with a
type of <code class="constant">SmSaveGlobal</code> it would simply save the
currently edited file.
	  </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
If a word processor were sent a “Save Yourself” with a
type of <code class="constant">SmSaveBoth</code> it would first save the
currently edited file.  It would then create a temporary file with
information such as the current position of the cursor and what file
is being edited.  Finally, it would update its
<span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span> property with enough information
to find the temporary file.
	  </p></li></ul></div><p>
      </p><p>
The <em class="parameter"><code>shutdown</code></em> argument specifies whether the
system is being shut down.
The interaction is different depending on whether or not shutdown is
set.  If not shutting down, the client should save its state and wait
for a “Save Complete” message.  If shutting down, the
client must save state and then prevent interaction until it receives
either a “Die” or a “Shutdown Cancelled.”
      </p><p>
The <em class="parameter"><code>fast</code></em> argument specifies that the client
should save its state as quickly as possible.  For example, if the
session manager knows that power is about to fail, it would
set <em class="parameter"><code>fast</code></em> to <code class="constant">True</code>.

The session manager sends a “Die” message to a client when
it wants it to die.  The client should respond by calling

The session manager sends a “Shutdown Cancelled” message
when the user cancelled the shutdown during an interaction
(see <a class="link" href="#Interacting_With_the_User" title="Interacting With the User">section 5.5,
“Interacting With the User”</a>).  The client can now
continue as if the shutdown had never happened.  If the client has not

    </p><p>
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 <a class="xref" href="#SmcCloseConnection"><code class="function">SmcCloseConnection</code></a> is called, the ICE
connection will be closed only if all protocols have been shutdown on
the connection.  Check the ICElib standard
for <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceAddConnectionWatch</code></span>
and <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceRemoveConnectionWatch</code></span> 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 <code class="function">select</code> on
(or calls <code class="function">XtAppAddInput</code> or
<code class="function">XtRemoveInput</code>).

After the <a class="xref" href="#SmsInitialize"><code class="function">SmsInitialize</code></a> function is called, the
session manager should call the <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceListenForConnections</code></span>
function to listen for new connections.  Afterwards, each time a
client connects, the session manager should
call <span class="olink"><code class="function">IceAcceptConnection</code></span>

See <a class="link" href="#Authentication_of_Clients" title="Chapter 9. Authentication of Clients">section 9,
“Authentication of Clients,”</a> for more details on
authentication (including host based authentication).  Also see
the “<span class="citetitle">Inter-Client Exchange
Library</span>” standard for further details on listening for and
accepting ICE connections.
    </p><p>
Each time a new client connects to the session manager,
the <a class="xref" href="#SmsNewClientProc"><code class="function">SmsNewClientProc</code></a> 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.

If a failure occurs, the <a class="xref" href="#SmsNewClientProc"><code class="function">SmsNewClientProc</code></a> should
return a zero status as well as allocate and return a failure reason
string in <em class="parameter"><code>failure_reason_ret</code></em>.
SMlib will be responsible for freeing this memory.
    </p><p>
The session manager must register a set of callbacks to respond to
client events.  The <em class="parameter"><code>mask_ret</code></em> argument specifies
which callbacks are set.  All of the callbacks specified in this version of
SMlib are mandatory.  The <em class="parameter"><code>mask_ret</code></em> argument is
necessary in order to maintain backwards compatibility in future versions
of the library.
    </p><p>
The following values may be ORed together to obtain a mask value:

    </p><p>
For each callback, the session manager can register a pointer to
manager data specific to that callback.  This pointer will be passed
to the callback when it is invoked by SMlib.

Before any further interaction takes place with the client, the client
must be registered with the session manager.
      </p><p>
If the client is being restarted from a previous session,
<em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> will contain a null-terminated string
representing the client ID from the previous session.
Call <code class="function">free</code> on the <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em>
pointer when it is no longer needed.  If the client is first joining the
session, <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> will be <code class="constant">NULL</code>.
      </p><p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> is invalid, the session manager should
not register the client at this time.  This callback should return a status
of zero, which will cause an error message to be sent to the client.  The
client should re-register with previous_id set to <code class="constant">NULL</code>.
      </p><p>
Otherwise, the session manager should register the client with a unique
client ID by calling the <a class="xref" href="#SmsRegisterClientReply"><code class="function">SmsRegisterClientReply</code></a>
function (to be discussed shortly), and the
<a class="xref" href="#SmsRegisterClientProc"><code class="function">SmsRegisterClientProc</code></a> callback should return a
status of one.

When a client receives a “Save Yourself” message with an
<em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em> of
<code class="constant">SmInteractStyleErrors</code>
or <code class="constant">SmInteractStyleAny</code> the client may choose to
interact with the user.  Because only one client can interact with the
user at a time, the client must request to interact with the user.
The session manager should keep a queue of all clients wishing to
interact.  It should send an “Interact” message to one
client at a time and wait for an “Interact Done” message
before continuing with the next client.
      </p><p>
The <em class="parameter"><code>dialog_type</code></em> argument specifies
either <code class="constant">SmDialogError</code> indicating that the client
wants to start an error dialog, or <code class="constant">SmDialogNormal</code>
meaning that the client wishes to start a nonerror dialog.
      </p><p>
If a shutdown is in progress, the user may have the option of
cancelling the shutdown.  If the shutdown is cancelled (specified in
the “Interact Done” message), the session manager should
send a “Shutdown Cancelled” message to each client that
requested to interact.

    </p><p>
If a non-<code class="constant">NULL</code> <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em> was

should be identical to <em class="parameter"><code>previous_id</code></em>.

Otherwise, <em class="parameter"><code>client_id</code></em> should be a unique ID freshly

    </p><p>
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.

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 “Set
Properties” messages to update the properties indicating how to
restart the client.  When all the properties have been set, the client
sends a “Save Yourself Done” message.
    </p><p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em>
is <code class="constant">SmInteractStyleNone</code> the
client must not interact with the user while saving state.
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em>
is <code class="constant">SmInteractStyleErrors</code> the
client may interact with the user only if an error condition arises.
If <em class="parameter"><code>interact_style</code></em>
is <code class="constant">SmInteractStyleAny</code> then the
client may interact with the user for any purpose.  The client must
send an “Interact Request” message and wait for an
“Interact” 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 “Interact Done” message.  The
“Interact Request” message can be sent any time after a
“Save Yourself” and before a “Save Yourself
Done.”
    </p><p>
If <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveLocal</code>
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 <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveGlobal</code>
the user wants the client to commit all of its data to permanent, globally
accessible storage.
If <em class="parameter"><code>save_type</code></em> is <code class="constant">SmSaveBoth</code>
the client should do both of these (it should first commit the data to
permanent storage before updating its properties).
    </p><p>
The <em class="parameter"><code>shutdown</code></em> 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
“Die” or a “Shutdown Cancelled,” because
anything the user does after the save will be lost.
    </p><p>
The <em class="parameter"><code>fast</code></em> argument specifies that the client should
save its state as quickly as possible.  For example, if the session manager
knows that power is about to fail, it should set <em class="parameter"><code>fast</code></em>
to <code class="constant">True</code>.

Each property is defined by the <span class="structname">SmProp</span> structure:

</p><pre class="synopsis">
typedef struct {
	char *name;	/* name of property */
	char *type;	/* type of property */

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.
  </p><p>
A type of <span class="type">SmCARD8</span> indicates that there is a single 1-byte value.
A type of <span class="type">SmARRAY8</span> indicates that there is a single array of bytes.
A type of <span class="type">SmLISTofARRAY8</span> indicates that there is a list of array of
bytes.

  </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: bullet; "><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmCloneCommand</span></p><p>
This is like the <span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span>, except it restarts a
copy of the application.  The only difference is that the application does not
supply its client ID at register time.  On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym> systems,
this should be of type <span class="type">SmLISTofARRAY8</span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmCurrentDirectory</span></p><p>
On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym>-based systems, this specifies the value of the
current directory that needs to be set up prior to starting the
<span class="property">SmProgram</span> and should of type <span class="type">SmARRAY8</span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmDiscardCommand</span></p><p>
The discard command contains a command that when delivered to the host
that the client is running on (determined from the connection), will
cause it to discard any information about the current state.  If this
command is not specified, the Session Manager will assume that all of
the client's state is encoded in the <span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span>.
On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym> systems, the type should be
<span class="type">SmLISTofARRAY8</span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmEnvironment</span></p><p>
On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym> based systems, this will be of type
<span class="type">SmLISTofARRAY8</span>, where the <span class="type">ARRAY8</span>s alternate between
environment variable name and environment variable value.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmProcessID</span></p><p>
This specifies an OS-specific identifier for the process.
On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym> systems, this should contain the return value
of <code class="function">getpid</code> turned into a Latin-1 (decimal) string.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmProgram</span></p><p>
This is the name of the program that is running.  On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym>
systems, this should be first parameter passed to <code class="function">execve</code>
and should be of type <span class="type">SmARRAY8</span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmRestartCommand</span></p><p>
The restart command contains a command that, when delivered to the
host that the client is running on (determined from the connection),
will cause the client to restart in its current state.
On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym>-based systems, this is of
type <span class="type">SmLISTofARRAY8</span>, and each of the elements in
the array represents an element in the <code class="varname">argv</code>
array.  This restart command should ensure that the client restarts
with the specified client-ID.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmResignCommand</span></p><p>
A client that sets the <span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span>
to <code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code> 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 <span class="command"><strong>xmodmap</strong></span> which
registers with the Session Manager,
sets <span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span>
to <code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code>, and then
terminates.  To allow the Session Manager (at the user's request) to
undo this, <span class="command"><strong>xmodmap</strong></span> would register a
<span class="property">SmResignCommand</span> that undoes the effects of
the <span class="command"><strong>xmodmap</strong></span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span></p><p>
If the <span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span> is present, it will contain the
style of restarting the client prefers.  If this style is not specified,
<code class="constant">SmRestartIfRunning</code> is assumed.
The possible values are as follows:

</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col align="left" class="c1" /><col align="left" class="c2" /></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="left">Name</th><th align="left">Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="left"><code class="constant">SmRestartIfRunning</code></td><td align="left">0</td></tr><tr><td align="left"><code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code></td><td align="left">1</td></tr><tr><td align="left"><code class="constant">SmRestartImmediately</code></td><td align="left">2</td></tr><tr><td align="left"><code class="constant">SmRestartNever</code></td><td align="left">3</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
      </p><p>
The <code class="constant">SmRestartIfRunning</code> 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.
      </p><p>
The <code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code> 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.
      </p><p>
A client that uses <code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code> should also set the
<span class="property">SmResignCommand</span> and <span class="property">SmShutdownCommand</span>
properties to commands that undo the state of the client after it exits.
      </p><p>
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.
      </p><p>
<code class="constant">SmRestartNever</code> style specifies that the client does not
wish to be restarted in the next session.
      </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmShutdownCommand</span></p><p>
This command is executed at shutdown time to clean up after a client
that is no longer running but retained its state by setting
<span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span> to
<code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code>.  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
<span class="property">SmRestartStyleHint</span> to
<code class="constant">SmRestartAnyway</code> and would register
a <span class="property">SmShutdownCommand</span> that would turn off the camera.
    </p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p><span class="property">SmUserID</span></p><p>
Specifies the user ID.  On <acronym class="acronym">POSIX</acronym>-based systems, this will
contain the user's name (the <em class="structfield"><code>pw_name</code></em> member of
<span class="structname">struct passwd</span>).

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

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: bullet; "><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>The first is when an ICE connection is opened.</p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p>The second is when a Protocol Setup occurs on an ICE connection.</p></li></ul></div><p>
  </p><p>
The authentication methods that are available are
implementation-dependent (that is., dependent on the ICElib and SMlib
implementations in use).  For further information, see the
“<span class="citetitle">Inter-Client Exchange Library</span>”
standard.

To declare that multiple threads in an application will be using SMlib
(or any other library layered on top of ICElib), you should
call <code class="function">IceInitThreads</code>.
