session_control is a Fuchsia command line developer tool which allows developers to connect to the session_manager and send it commands at runtime.
To add this project to your build, append --with-base //src/session/tools:all to the fx set invocation.
It is also included in the larger --with-base //src/session target.
Once you have rebuilt (with fx build) be sure to re-pave your device.
Run the session_control tool from the command line on your workstation:
$ fx shell session_control --help
Unit tests for session_control are included in the session_control_tests package.
$ fx run-test session_control_tests
The entrypoint and implementation are located in src/main.rs. Unit tests are co-located with the code.
session_control connects to control services published by session_manager at runtime. One such service is fuchsia.session.Launcher.
Due to the (current) inability to expose services directly from a v2 component such as session_manager via /hub, session_manager exposes these services to its parent special-purpose implementation of component manager (component_manager_sfw), with sysmgr providing service discovery as defined in session_manager.config.
