  • None.

3. Functions

3.1. setsflag(flag)

...
setsflag("1");
...
$var(flag) = 11;
setsflag("$var(flag)");
...

3.2. issflagset(flag)

Return true of the script flag is set.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.2. issflagset usage

...
if(issflagset("1"))

Example 1.3. resetsflag usage

...
resetsflag("1");
...

3.4. setbflag(flag [, branch])

Set the branch flag.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • flag - the index of the branch flag to be set. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value.

  • branch - the index of the branch whose flag to be set. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value. If omitted, then branch 0 is used (R-URI).

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.4. setbflag usage

...
setbflag("1");
...
$var(flag) = 11;
setbflag("$var(flag)", "1");
...

3.5. isbflagset(flag [, branch])

Return true of the branch flag is set.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • flag - the index of the branch flag to be tested. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value.

  • branch - the index of the branch whose flag to be set. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value. If omitted, then branch 0 is used (R-URI).

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.5. isbflagset usage

3.6. resetbflag(flag [, branch])

Reset the branch flag.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • flag - the index of the branch flag to be reset. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value.

  • branch - the index of the branch whose flag to be set. Can be integer or pseudo-variable with integer value. If omitted, then branch 0 is used (R-URI).

...

3.7. setdsturi(uri)

Set the destination address URI (outbound proxy address).

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

{
   ...
}
...

3.10. pv_printf(var, str)

Evalues the str and sets the resulting value to variable var. For backward compatibility reasons, the same function can be executed via 'avp_printf(var, str)'.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

Check if the parameter matches the 'myself' condition (i.e., is a local IP or domain).

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • uri - Valid SIP URI or IP address to check against the list of local IP addresses or domains. The parameter value can contain pseudo-variables.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.11. is_myself usage

...
if(is_myself("$fu")) {
    ...
}
...

3.12. setdebug(level)

Set the debug log level per process.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

Parameters: statsid - which statistics to be printed. If set to 'all' then all statistics are printed; if set to 'statsgroup:' then all statistics in the group are printed; if set to 'statsname' then the statistics identified by the name is printed.

Examples:

		kamcmd stats.get_statistics all
		kamcmd stats.get_statistics core:
		kamcmd stats.get_statistics unsupported_methods
		kamcmd stats.get_statistics shmem: fwd_requests fwd_replies

4.9.  stats.reset_statistics

Reset internal statistics.

Parameters: statsid - same as for get_statistics.

4.11.  mod.stats module_name/all pkg/shm/all

Print private(pkg) or shared(shm) memory currently allocated a given module or by all modules.

NOTE: Processing is done only when the command is issued and involves iterating throug the list of memory fragments and printing details about them.

NOTE: Only the module functions that directly calls shm_alloc or pkg_alloc are taken into consideration.

The first parameter can be one of the following:

  • module_name - print statistics for specific module. Either a module name (like "usrloc") or "core" for the Kamailio core.

  • all - print statistics for all modules that uses memory.

The second parameter can be:

  • pkg - print private (process) memory statistics.

  • shm - print shared memory statistics.

  • all - print both private and shared memory statistics.

Examples:

		kamcmd mod.stats core all
		kamcmd mod.stats userblacklist shm
		kamcmd mod.stats kex pkg
		kamcmd mod.stats all all

Output:

    // this is the pkg zone of the module
    // function_name(line_where_pkg_malloc_was_called): size_alloc'ed_by_pkg_malloc
    init_rpc_uptime(74): 56
