determine whether the session identified by the specified session
identifier is a remote session (i.e. its remote host is known) or
not.</p><p><code class="function">sd_session_get_state()</code> may be used to
determine the state of the session identified by the specified
session identifier. The following states are currently known:
"<code class="literal">online</code>" (session logged in, but session not
active, i.e. not in the foreground), "<code class="literal">active</code>"
(session logged in and active, i.e. in the foreground),

additional states might be defined, client code should be written

set freely by desktop environments and does not follow any special
formatting. However, desktops are strongly recommended to use the
same identifiers and capitalization as for
<code class="varname">$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP</code>, as defined by the <a class="ulink" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/" target="_top">Desktop
