gmda_isSessionActive

True while the session is alive, even during a table reload.

Synchronous (returns directly)

Signature

gmda_isSessionActive() -> real

Reports only whether the session is alive. Unlike gmda_status(), it stays true while a reload refreshes tables, so it does not flicker.

This function takes no parameters.

Read it any time; ideal for a persistent connection indicator.

Returns: 1 while the session is active, otherwise 0.
