     <para>
This document specifies a protocol that facilitates the management of
groups of client applications by a session manager.  The session
manager can cause clients to save their state, to shut down, and to be
restarted into a previously saved state.  This protocol is layered on
top of the X.Org <acronym>ICE</acronym> protocol.

<chapter id='Definitions_and_Goals'>
  <title>Definitions and Goals</title>

  <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 Window System
display.  However, a client may be connected to more than one X
display or not be connected to any X displays at all.
  </para>

  <para>
This protocol is layered on top of the X Consortium's <acronym>ICE</acronym> protocol and
relies on the <acronym>ICE</acronym> protocol to handle connection management and authentication.
  </para>

</chapter>

<chapter id='Overview_of_the_Protocol'>
  <title>Overview of the Protocol</title>

  <para>
Clients use XSMP to register themselves with the session manager (SM).
When a client starts up, it should connect to the SM.  The client
should remain connected for as long as it runs.  A client may resign
from the session by issuing the proper protocol messages before
disconnecting.  Termination of the connection without notice will be
taken as an indication that the client died unexpectedly.
  </para>

  <para>
Clients are expected to save their state in such a way as to allow
multiple instantiations of themselves to be managed independently.  A
unique value called a <firstterm>client-ID</firstterm> is
provided by the protocol for the purpose of disambiguating multiple
instantiations of clients.  Clients may use this ID, for example, 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 command
used to restart this client
(the <property>RestartCommand</property>) so that the client
will retain the same ID after it is restarted.  Certain small pieces
of state might also be stored in the RestartCommand.  For example, an
X11 client might place a '-twoWindow' option in its RestartCommand to
indicate that it should start up in two window mode when it is
restarted.
  </para>

  <para>
The client finds the network address of the SM in a system-dependent
way.  On <acronym>POSIX</acronym> systems an environment
variable called <envar>SESSION_MANAGER</envar>
will contain a list of network IDs.  Each id will contain the
transport name followed by a slash and the (transport-specific)
address.  A TCP/IP address would look like this:
    <informalexample><para>
      <literal>tcp/</literal><replaceable>hostname</replaceable><literal>:</literal><replaceable>portnumber</replaceable>
    </para></informalexample>
where the hostname is a fully qualified domain name.
A Unix Domain address looks like this:
    <informalexample><para>
	<literal>local/</literal><replaceable>hostname</replaceable><literal>:</literal><replaceable>path</replaceable>
    </para></informalexample>
A DECnet address would look like this:
    <informalexample><para>
	<literal>decnet/</literal><replaceable>nodename</replaceable><literal>::</literal><replaceable>objname</replaceable>
    </para></informalexample>
  </para>

  <para>
If multiple network IDs are specified, they should be separated by commas.
  </para>

  <note><title>Rationale</title>
    <para>
There was much discussion over whether the XSMP protocol should use X
as the transport protocol or whether it should use its own independent
transport.  It was decided that it would use an independent protocol
for several reasons.  First, the Session Manager should be able to
manage programs that do not maintain an X connection.  Second, the X
protocol is not appropriate to use as a general-purpose transport
protocol.  Third, a session might span multiple displays.
    </para>

    <para>
The protocol is connection based, because there is no other way for
the SM to determine reliably when clients terminate.
    </para>

    <para>
It should be noted that this protocol introduces another single point
of failure into the system.  Although it is possible for clients to
continue running after the SM has exited, this will probably not be
the case in normal practice.  Normally the program that starts the SM
will consider the session to be terminated when the SM exits (either
normally or abnormally).
    </para>

    <para>
To get around this would require some sort of rendezvous server that
would also introduce a single point of failure.  In the absence of a
generally available rendezvous server, XSMP is kept simple in the
hopes of making simple reliable SMs.
    </para>
  </note>

  <para>
Some clients may wish to manage the programs they start.  For example,
a mail program could start a text editor for editing the text of a
mail message.  A client that does this is a session manager itself; it
should supply the clients it starts with the appropriate connection
information (i.e., the <envar>SESSION_MANAGER</envar> environment variable)
that specifies a connection to itself instead of to the top level session
manager.
  </para>

  <para>
Each client has associated with it a list of properties.  A property
set by one client is not visible to any other client.  These
properties are used for the client to inform the SM of the client's
current state.  When a client initially connects to the SM, there are
no properties set.
  </para>
</chapter>

<chapter id='Data_Types'>
  <title>Data Types</title>

  <para>
XSMP messages contain several types of data.  Both the SM and the
client always send messages in their native byte order.  Thus, both
sides may need to byte-swap the messages received.  The need to do
byte-swapping is determined at run-time by the <acronym>ICE</acronym> protocol.
  </para>

  <para>
If an invalid value is specified for a field of any of the enumerated
types, a <errorname>BadValue</errorname> error message must be sent by
the receiver of the message to the sender of the message.

<chapter id='Protocol_Setup_and_Message_Format'>
  <title>Protocol Setup and Message Format</title>

  <para>
To start the XSMP protocol, the client sends the server an
<acronym>ICE</acronym> <function>ProtocolSetup</function> message.  All XSMP messages are
in the standard <acronym>ICE</acronym> message format.  The message's major opcode is
assigned to XSMP by <acronym>ICE</acronym> at run-time.  The different parties (client
and SM) may be assigned different major opcodes for XSMP.  Once
assigned, all XSMP messages issued by this party will use the same
major opcode.  The message's minor opcode specifies which protocol
message this message contains.
  </para>
</chapter>

<chapter id='Client_Identification_String'>
  <title>Client Identification String</title>
  <para>
A client ID is a string of XPCS characters encoded in ISO Latin 1 (ISO
8859-1).  No null characters are allowed in this string.  The client
ID string is used in the <function>Register&shy;Client</function>
and <function>Register&shy;ClientReply</function> messages.
  </para>

  <para>
Client IDs consist of the pieces described below.  The ID is formed by
concatenating the pieces in sequence, without separator characters.
All pieces are padded on the left with '<literal>0</literal>'
characters so as to fill the specified length.  Decimal numbers are
encoded using the characters '<literal>0</literal>' through
'<literal>9</literal>', and hexadecimal numbers using the characters
'<literal>0</literal>' through '<literal>9</literal>' and
'<literal>A</literal>' through '<literal>F</literal>'.

</literallayout>
       </para>

       <para>
The address is the one of the network addresses of the machine where
the session manager (not the client) is running.  For example, the IP

       <note><title>Rationale</title>
	 <para>
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
construction specified above will ensure that any client ID created by
any user, session manager, and machine will be different from any other.

</chapter>

<chapter id='Protocol'>
  <title>Protocol</title>
  <para>
The protocol consists of a sequence of messages as described below.
Each message type is specified by an <acronym>ICE</acronym> minor opcode.  A given
message type is sent either from a client to the session manager or
from the session manager to a client; the appropriate direction is
listed with each message's description.  For each message type, the
set of valid responses and possible error messages are listed.  The
<acronym>ICE</acronym> severity is given in parentheses following each error class.
  </para>

  <synopsis>
<function>RegisterClient</function> [Client &rarr; SM]

  <parameter>previous-ID</parameter>: ARRAY8

  Valid Responses: <function>RegisterClientReply</function>

  Possible Errors: <errorname>BadValue</errorname> (<symbol role='Pn'>CanContinue</symbol>)
  </synopsis>

  <para>
The client must send this message to the SM to register the client's
existence.  If a client is being restarted from a previous session,
the <parameter>previous-ID</parameter> field must contain the client
ID from the previous session.  For new clients,
<parameter>previous-ID</parameter> should be of zero length.
  </para>

  <para>
If <parameter>previous-ID</parameter> is not valid,
the SM will send a <errorname>BadValue</errorname>
error message to the client.  At this point the SM reverts to the
register state and waits for another <function>RegisterClient</function>
The client should then send a <function>RegisterClient</function> with a
null <parameter>previous-ID</parameter> field.
  </para>

  <synopsis>
<function>RegisterClientReply</function> [Client &larr; SM]

  <parameter>client-ID</parameter>: <type>ARRAY8</type>
  </synopsis>

  <para>
The <parameter>client-ID</parameter> specifies a unique identification
for this client.  If the client had specified an ID in the
<parameter>previous-ID</parameter> field of the
<function>RegisterClient</function> message,
<parameter>client-ID</parameter> will be identical to the previously
specified ID.  If <parameter>previous-ID</parameter> was null,
<parameter>client-ID</parameter> will be a unique ID freshly generated
by the SM.  The <parameter>client-ID</parameter> format is specified in
<link linkend='Client_Identification_String'>section 6</link>.
  </para>

  <para>
If the client didn't supply a <parameter>previous-ID</parameter> field to
the <function>Register&shy;Client</function> message, the SM must send
a <function>SaveYourself</function> message with type = Local,
shutdown = False, interact-style = None, and fast = False immediately
after the <function>RegisterClientReply</function> The client should
respond to this like any other <function>Save&shy;Yourself</function>
message.

    <function>SaveYourselfPhase2Request</function>
    <function>InteractRequest</function>
  </synopsis>

  <para>
The SM sends this message to a client to ask it to save its state.
The client writes a state file, if necessary, and, if necessary,
uses <function>SetProperties</function> to inform the SM of how to
restart it and how to discard the saved state.  During this process it
can, if allowed by <parameter>interact-style</parameter>, request permission
to interact with
the user by sending an <function>InteractRequest</function> message.
After the state has been saved, or if it cannot be successfully saved,
and the properties are appropriately set, the client sends
a <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> message.  If the client wants
to save additional information after all the other clients have
finished changing their own state, the client should
send <function>SaveYourselfPhase2Request</function> instead
of <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> The client must then freeze
interaction with the user and wait until it receives
a <function>SaveComplete</function> <function>Die</function> or
a <function>ShutdownCancelled</function> message.
  </para>

  <para>
If <parameter>interact-style</parameter> is <function>None</function> the
client must not interact with the user while saving state.  If the
<parameter>interact-style</parameter>
is <function>Errors</function> the client may interact with the user
only if an error condition arises.  If <parameter>interact-style</parameter>
is <function>Any</function> then the client may interact with the user
for any purpose.  This is done by sending
an <function>Interact&shy;Request</function> message.  The SM will
send an <function>Interact</function> message to each client that sent
an <function>Interact&shy;Request</function> The client must postpone
all interaction until it gets the <function>Interact</function>
message.  When the client is done interacting it should send the SM
an <function>Interact&shy;Done</function> message.
The <function>Interact&shy;Request</function> message can be sent any
time after a <function>Save&shy;Yourself</function> and before
a <function>Save&shy;Yourself&shy;Done</function>
  </para>

  <para>
Unusual circumstances may dictate multiple interactions.  The client
may initiate as many <function>Interact&shy;Request</function>
- <function>Interact</function> - <function>InteractDone</function>
sequences as it needs before it sends <function>SaveYourselfDone</function>
  </para>

  <para>
When a client receives <function>Save&shy;Yourself</function> and has
not yet responded <function>Save&shy;Yourself&shy;Done</function> to a
previous <function>Save&shy;Yourself</function> it must send
a <function>Save&shy;Yourself&shy;Done</function> and may then begin
responding as appropriate to the newly received
<function>Save&shy;Yourself</function>
</para>

  <para>
The <parameter>type</parameter> field specifies the type of information that
should be saved: <function>Global</function> <function>Local</function>
or <function>Both</function> The <function>Local</function> type
indicates that the application must update the properties to reflect
its current state, send
a <function>Save&shy;Yourself&shy;Done</function> and continue.
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.  The <function>Global</function> type indicates
that the user wants the client to commit all of its data to permanent,
globally-accessible storage.  <function>Both</function> indicates that
the client should do both of these.  If <function>Both</function> is
specified, the client should first commit the data to permanent
storage before updating its SM properties.
  </para>

  <note><title>Examples</title>
    <para>
If a word processor was sent a <function>SaveYourself</function> with
a type of <function>Local</function> 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 <function>Restart&shy;Command</function> property with
enough information to find the temporary file, and
its <function>Discard&shy;Command</function> with enough information
to remove it.
    </para>

    <para>
If a word processor was sent a <function>SaveYourself</function> with
a type of <function>Global</function> it would simply save the
currently edited file.
    </para>

    <para>
If a word processor was sent a <function>SaveYourself</function> with
a type of <function>Both</function> 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.  It would then update
its <function>Restart&shy;Command</function> property with enough
information to find the temporary file, and
its <function>Discard&shy;Command</function> with enough information
to remove it.
    </para>

    <para>
Once the SM has send <function>SaveYourself</function> to a client, it
can't send another <function>SaveYourself</function> to that client until
the client either responds with a <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> or
the SM sends a <function>ShutdownCancelled</function>
    </para>
  </note>

  <note><title>Advice to Implementors</title>
    <para>
If the client stores local any state in a file or similar "external"
storage, it must create a distinct copy in response to
each <function>SaveYourself</function> message.
It <emphasis remap='I'>must not</emphasis> simply refer to a previous
copy, because the SM may discard that previous saved state using
a <function>DiscardCommand</function> without knowing that it is
needed for the new checkpoint.
    </para>
  </note>

  <para>
The <parameter>shutdown</parameter> field specifies whether the system is
being shut down.
  </para>

  <note><title>Rationale</title>
    <para>
The interaction may be different depending on whether or not shutdown is set.
    </para>
  </note>

  <para>
The client must save and then must prevent interaction until it
receives a <function>SaveComplete</function> <function>Die</function>
or a <function>Shutdown&shy;Cancelled</function> because anything the
user does after the save will be lost.
  </para>

  <para>
The <parameter>fast</parameter> field specifies whether or not the client
should save its state as quickly as possible.  For example, if the SM knows
that power is about to fail, it should set the <parameter>fast</parameter>
field to <constant>True</constant>.
  </para>

    <function>GetProperties</function>
    <function>SaveYourselfDone</function>
    <function>InteractRequest</function>
  </synopsis>

  <para>
The SM sends this message to a client that has previously sent
a <function>SaveYourselfPhase2Request</function> message.  This
message informs the client that all other clients are in a fixed state
and this client can save state that is associated with other clients.
  </para>

  <note><title>Rationale</title>
    <para>
Clients that manager other clients (window managers, workspace
managers, etc) need to know when all clients they are managing are
idle, so that the manager can save state related to each of the
clients without being concerned with that state changing.
    </para>
  </note>
  <para>
The client writes a state file, if necessary, and, if necessary,
uses <function>SetProperties</function> to inform the SM of how to
restart it and how to discard the saved state.  During this process it
can request permission to interact with the user by sending
an <function>InteractRequest</function> message.  This should only be
done if an error occurs that requires user interaction to resolve.
After the state has been saved, or if it cannot be successfully saved,
and the properties are appropriately set, the client sends
a <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> message.

  <para>
When the SM wants a client to die it sends a <function>Die</function>

The shutdown currently in process has been aborted.  The client can
now continue as if the shutdown had never happened.  If the client has
not sent <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> yet, the client can
either abort the save and send <function>SaveYourselfDone</function>

continue with the save and send a <function>SaveYourselfDone</function>
with the success field set to reflect the outcome of the save.

<function>ConnectionClosed</function> [Client &rarr; SM]

  <parameter>reason</parameter>: <type>LISTofARRAY8</type>
  </synopsis>

  <para>
Specifies that the client has decided to terminate.  It should be
immediately followed by closing the connection.
  </para>

  <para>
The <parameter>reason</parameter> field specifies why the client is resigning
from the session.  It is encoded as an array of Compound Text strings.  If the
resignation is expected by the user, there will typically be zero
ARRAY8s here.  But if the client encountered an unexpected fatal
error, the error message (which might otherwise be printed on stderr
on a <acronym>POSIX</acronym> system) should be forwarded to the SM here, one ARRAY8 per
line of the message.  It is the responsibility of the SM to display
this reason to the user.
  </para>

  <para>
After sending this message, the client must not send any additional
XSMP messages to the SM.
  </para>
  <note><title>Advice to Implementors</title><para>
If additional messages are received, they should be discarded.
  </para></note>
  <note><title>Rationale</title><para>
The reason for sending the <function>ConnectionClosed</function>
message before actually closing the connections is that some transport
protocols will not provide immediate notification of connection
closure.

  </para>

  <para>
The protocol specification recommends that property names used for
properties not defined by the standard should begin with an
underscore.  To prevent conflicts among organizations, additional
prefixes should be chosen (for example, _KPC_FAST_SAVE_OPTION).  The
organizational prefixes should be registered with the X Registry.  The
XSMP reserves all property names not beginning with an underscore for
future use.

<chapter id='Errors'>
  <title>Errors</title>

  <para>
When the receiver of a message detects an error condition, the
receiver sends an <acronym>ICE</acronym> error message to the sender.  There are only two
types of errors that are used by the XSMP:
<errorname>BadValue</errorname> and <errorname>BadState</errorname>
These are both defined in the <acronym>ICE</acronym> protocol.
  </para>

  <para>
Any message received out-of-sequence will generate
a <errorname>BadState</errorname> error message.

    <para>
XSMP is a sub-protocol of <acronym>ICE</acronym>.  The major opcode is
assigned at run-time by <acronym>ICE</acronym> and is represented here
by '<literal>?</literal>'.
    </para>

    <para>
To start the XSMP protocol, the client sends the server an
<acronym>ICE</acronym> <function>ProtocolSetup</function> message.
The protocol-name field should be specified as "<literal>XSMP</literal>",
the major version of the protocol is 1, the minor version is 0.  These
values may change if the protocol is revised.  The minor version
number will be incremented if the change is compatible, otherwise the
major version number will be incremented.
    </para>

    <para>
In <function>ProtocolReply</function> message sent by the session
manager, the XSMP protocol defines the vendor parameter as product
identification of the session manager, and defines the release
parameter as the software release identification of the session
manager.  The session manager should supply this information in the
<acronym>ICE</acronym> <function>ProtocolReply</function> message.

  <title>Predefined Properties</title>
  <para>
All property values are stored in a LISTofARRAY8.  If the type of the
property is CARD8, the value is stored as a LISTofARRAY8 with one
ARRAY8 that is one byte long.  That single byte contains the CARD8.
If the type of the property is ARRAY8, the value is stored in the
first element of a single element LISTofARRAY8.
  </para>

  <para>
The required properties must be set each time a client connects with
the SM.  The properties must be set after the client
sends <function>RegisterClient</function> and before the client
sends <function>SaveYourselfDone</function> Otherwise, the behavior of
the session manager is not defined.
  </para>

  <para>
Clients may set, get, and delete nonstandard properties.  The lifetime
of stored properties does not extend into subsequent sessions.

A user runs xmodmap.  xmodmap registers with the SM,
sets <function>Restart&shy;Style&shy;Hint</function>

The <function>RestartIfRunning</function> style is used in the usual
case.  The client should be restarted in the next session if it is
connected to the session manager at the end of the current session.

	<para>
The <function>RestartAnyway</function> style is used to tell the SM
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 SM will follow the policies specified
by its users in determining what applications to restart.

This can be specified by a client which supports (as MS-Windows
clients do) a means for the user to indicate while exiting that
restarting is desired.  It can also be used for clients that spawn
other clients and then go away, but which want to be restarted.
	</para></note>

	<para>
A client that uses <function>RestartAnyway</function> should also set
the <function>ResignCommand</function> and <function>ShutdownCommand</function>
properties to commands that undo the state of the client after it exits.
	</para>

	<para>
The <function>RestartImmediately</function> style is
like <function>RestartAnyway</function> but in addition, the client is
meant to run continuously.  If the client exits, the SM should try to
restart it in the current session.
	</para>

	<note><title>Advice to Implementors</title><para>
It would be wise to sanity-check the frequency which
which <function>RestartImmediately</function> clients are restarted,
to avoid a sick client being restarted continuously.
	</para></note>

	<para>
The <function>RestartNever</function> style specifies that the client
does not wish to be restarted in the next session.
	</para>

	<note><title>Advice to Implementors</title> <para>
This should be used rarely, if at all.  It will cause the client to be
silently left out of sessions when they are restarted and will
probably be confusing to users.

      <term>ShutdownCommand</term>
      <listitem>
	<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 <function>RestartStyleHint</function>
to <function>RestartAnyway</function> The command must not remove any
saved state as the client is still part of the session.
	</para>
	<note><title>Example</title><para>
A client is run at start up time that turns on a camera.  This client
then exits.  At session shutdown, the user wants the camera turned
off.  This client would set the <function>Restart&shy;Style&shy;Hint</function>
to <function>Restart&shy;Anyway</function> and would register a
<function>Shutdown&shy;Command</function> that would turn off the camera.
