Introduction

The term “pseudo-variable” is used for special tokens that can be given as parameters to different script functions and they will be replaced with a value before the execution of the function.

The beginning of a “pseudo-variable” is marked by the character “$”. If you want to have the character “$” just double it “$$”.

There is a set of predefined pseudo-variables, which have the name composed from one to three letters, and special pseudo-variables that are references to dynamic fields (AVP and Headers)

Pseudo-variables usage

Pseudo-variables can be used with many modules of OpenSER, among them:

* acc * avpops * textops * uac * xlog

AVPs

$avp(id[N]) - represents the value of N-th AVP identified by 'id'.

The 'id' can be:

* “[si]:name” - name is the id of an AVP; 's' and 'i' specifies if the id is string or integer. If missing, it is considered to be string. * “$name” - the name is an AVP alias

Headers

$hdr(name[N]) - represents the body of the N-th header identified by 'name'. If [N] is omitted then the body of the first header is printed. The first header is got when N=0, for the second N=1, a.s.o. To print the last header of that type, use -1, no other negative values are supported now. No white spaces are allowed inside the specifier (before }, before or after {, [, ] symbols). When N='*', all headers of that type are printed.

The module should identify most of compact header names (the ones recognized by OpenSER which should be all at this moment), if not, the compact form has to be specified explicitly. It is recommended to use dedicated specifiers for headers (e.g., %ua for user agent header), if they are available – they are faster.

Special pseudo-variables in OpenSER - Escape Sequences

These pseudo variables are used by xlog module to print messages in many colors using escape sequences. The other modules ingnore them or throw error if they met these pseudo-variables.

Foreground and background colors

$Cxy - reference to an escape sequence. “x” represents the foreground color and “y” represents the background color.

Colors could be:

* x : default color of the terminal * s : Black * r : Red * g : Green * y : Yellow * b : Blue * p : Purple * c : Cyan * w : White

Examples

A few examples of usage.

Example 1. Pseudo-variables usage

...
modparam("avpops", "avp_aliases", "uuid=I:50")
...
route {
...
    avp_write("caller_id", "$uuid");
    avp_printf("$avp(i:20)", "$avp($uuid): $fu");
    xdbg("$Cbgi:20$Cxx [$avp(i:20)] $Cbrcseq$Cxx=[$hdr(cseq)]\n");
...
}
...
