## Implemented Interfaces

PolkitUnixSession implements PolkitSubject, GInitable and GAsyncInitable.

## Properties

      "pid"                      gint                  : Write / Construct Only
      "session-id"               gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct

## Description

An object that represents an user session.

The session id is an opaque string obtained from ConsoleKit.

## Details

### PolkitUnixSession

    typedef struct _PolkitUnixSession PolkitUnixSession;

The PolkitUnixSession struct should not be accessed directly.

### polkit_unix_session_new ()

    PolkitSubject *     polkit_unix_session_new             (const gchar *session_id);

Creates a new PolkitUnixSession for `session_id`.

`session_id` : | The session id.
Returns : | A PolkitUnixSession. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

### polkit_unix_session_new_for_process ()

    void                polkit_unix_session_new_for_process (gint pid,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously creates a new PolkitUnixSession object for the process with process id `pid`.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be invoked. You can then call `polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_finish()` to get the result of the operation.

This method constructs the object asynchronously, for the synchronous and blocking version use `polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_sync()`.

`pid` : | The process id of the process to get the session for.
`cancellable` : | A GCancellable or `NULL`.
`callback` : | A GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
`user_data` : | The data to pass to `callback`.

### polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_finish ()

    PolkitSubject *     polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_finish
                                                            (GAsyncResult *res,
                                                             GError **error);

Finishes constructing a PolkitSubject for a process id.

`res` : | A GAsyncResult obtained from the GAsyncReadyCallback passed to `polkit_unix_session_new_for_process()`.
`error` : | Return location for error.
Returns : | A PolkitUnixSession for the `pid` passed to `polkit_unix_session_new_for_process()` or `NULL` if `error` is set. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

### polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_sync ()

    PolkitSubject *     polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_sync
                                                            (gint pid,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Creates a new PolkitUnixSession for the process with process id `pid`.

This is a synchronous call that does blocking IO, for the asynchronous version, use `polkit_unix_session_new_for_process()`.

`pid` : | The process id of the process to get the session for.
`cancellable` : | A GCancellable or `NULL`.
`error` : | Return location for error.
Returns : | A PolkitUnixSession for `pid` or `NULL` if `error` is set. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

### polkit_unix_session_get_session_id ()

    const gchar *       polkit_unix_session_get_session_id  (PolkitUnixSession *session);

Gets the session id for `session`.

`session` : | A PolkitUnixSession.
Returns : | The session id for `session`. Do not free this string, it is owned by `session`.

### polkit_unix_session_set_session_id ()

    void                polkit_unix_session_set_session_id  (PolkitUnixSession *session,
                                                             const gchar *session_id);

Sets the session id for `session` to `session_id`.

`session` : | A PolkitUnixSession.
`session_id` : | The session id.
