The Session-State list is identical to any other VALUE_PAIR list, it's just managed by the server core, and is transferred between requests linked by the 'State' RADIUS attribute.

You don't need to know about how it works to use it, just modify its contents during the lifetime of the request and the changes will be present in the next REQUEST * in the sequence.

VALUE_PAIR *vp;
vp_cursor_t cursor;


for (vp = fr_cursor_init(&cursor, &request->state);
     vp;
     vp = fr_cursor_next(&cursor)) {
	<do stuff>
}



VALUE_PAIR *vp;
vp_cursor_t cursor;

MEM(vp = fr_pair_afrom_num(request, <attr num>, 0));
if (fr_pair_value_from_str(vp, "my_first_value", sizeof("my_first_value") - 1) < 0) {
	ERROR("Failed creating attribute value");
	talloc_free(vp);
	return;
}

fr_cursor_init(&cursor, &request->state)
fr_cursor_insert(&cursor, vp);


See http://doc.freeradius.org for descriptions of the functions.
