Usage Explanation

DosStopSession ends one or all child sessions. Only a child session started with DosStartSession, with Related set to SSF_RELATED_CHILD (=1), can be ended with DosStopSession. If the child session has related child sessions these are also ended. If the child process is executed in the foreground when it is ended the parent session becomes the foreground session. Since a process in the specified session may refuse to end, the only way to guarantee that the target session has ended is to wait for notification through the termination queue specified with DosStartSession.

Sample Code

#define DOS_SESMGR
#include <os2.h>

ULONG ulIDSession;
STATUSDATA sd;

/* Start child session with DosStartSession */
/* psd->Related = SSF_RELATED_CHILD; */
/* DosStartSession(psd,&ulIDSession,..); */

if(DosStopSession(STOP_SESSION_SPECIFIED, ulIDSession))   /* Establish the bond */
{
    /* Problems */
}
else
{
   /* The child session will end, unless it refuses, */
   /* check the termination queue from DosStartSession to be sure */
}
