SaveSession Method

Saves session state data.

Syntax

mqtt.saveSession([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method saves session state data currently held by the class, returning it as a string that can later be used to restore it. If the SessionStateFile configuration setting is set, the class will also write the session state data to that file (creating and/or overwriting it, as necessary).

Refer to CleanSession and RestoreSession for more information.
