+//! # DBus interface proxy for: `org.gnome.SessionManager`
+//!
+//! This code was generated by `zbus-xmlgen` `2.0.1` from DBus introspection data.
+//! Source: `Interface '/org/gnome/SessionManager' from service 'org.gnome.SessionManager' on session bus`.
+//!
+//! You may prefer to adapt it, instead of using it verbatim.
+//!
+//! More information can be found in the
+//! [Writing a client proxy](https://dbus.pages.freedesktop.org/zbus/client.html)
+//! section of the zbus documentation.
+//!
+//! This DBus object implements
+//! [standard DBus interfaces](https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html),
+//! (`org.freedesktop.DBus.*`) for which the following zbus proxies can be used:
+//!
+//! * [`zbus::fdo::PropertiesProxy`]
+//! * [`zbus::fdo::IntrospectableProxy`]
+//! * [`zbus::fdo::PeerProxy`]
+//!
+//! …consequently `zbus-xmlgen` did not generate code for the above interfaces.
