+\lt_p{session_name}.
+
+This is particularly useful if you created the recording session in
+\ref api-session-snapshot-mode "snapshot mode"
+or if LTTng \ref api_session_rotation "rotates" trace files for one of
+its \ref api-channel-channel "channels": in both cases, the state dump
+information may be lost.
