Pseudo-Variables

Version: Kamailio SIP Server v5.5.x (stable)

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 or more characters, and special pseudo-variables that are references to dynamic fields (AVP and Headers).

Pseudo-Variables are implemented by various modules, most of them are provided by pv (if there is no special reference to a module, expect that the pseudo-variable is provided by pv module).

Pseudo-variables usage

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

The list of pseudo-variables

Predefined pseudo-variables are listed in alphabetical order.

$$ - Pseudo-variable marker

$$ - represents the character '$'

$_s(format) - Evaluate dynamic format

$_s(format) - returns the string after evaluating all pseudo-variables in format

    $var(x) = "sip:" + $rU + "@" + $fd;

    # is equivalent of:

    $var(x) = $_s(sip:$rU@$fd);

$ai - URI inP-Asserted-Identity header

$ai - reference to URI in request's P-Asserted-Identity header (see RFC 3325)

$adu - Auth Digest URI

$adu - URI from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header. This URI is used when calculating the HTTP Digest Response.

$aa - Auth algorithm

$aa - algorithm from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header.

$ar - Auth realm

$ar - realm from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header

$au - Auth username user

$au - user part of username from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header

$ad - Auth username domain

$ad - domain part of username from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header

$aU - Auth whole username

$aU - whole username from Authorization or Proxy-Authorization header

$Au - Acc username and realm/domain

$Au - username for accounting purposes. It's a selective pseudo variable (inherited from acc module). It returns the auth username and realm ($au@$ar) if exists or From URI ($fu) otherwise.

$AU - Acc username

$AU - username for accounting purposes. It's a selective pseudo variable (inherited from acc module). It returns the auth username ($au) if exists or From user ($fU) otherwise.

$branch(name) - Branch attributes

$branch(name) - reference to attribute 'name' of a branch

This pseudo variable gives you access to the “additional branches” only, not to the “main branch”. E.g. if there are 3 clients registered for the same AoR, after lookup() you will have one contact in the “main branch” and two “additional branches”. Using $branch() you can access the additional branches, the main branch can be accessed using $ru and $du. (Note: In branch_routes there is no distinction between the main and the additional branches - the branch_route will be called once for each one of them.)

The 'name' can be:

The PV can take an index to access a specif branch: $(branch(name)[index])

Example:

$var(i)=0;
while($var(i)<$branch(count))
{
   xlog("$(branch(uri)[$var(i)])\n");
   $var(i) = $var(i) + 1;
}

Starting with 3.1.0, you can assign value per attribute. Index can be used to update a specific branch:

$(branch(attr)[index]) = value;

If index is missing, first branch is used. If index is -1 the last branch is used.

Assigning $null to uri attribute will drop the branch, for the rest of attributes will just set the value to null.

$(branch(uri)[2]) = "sip:test@kamailio.org;transport=sctp";

$avp(id) - AVPs

$avp(id) - the value of the AVP identified by 'id'.

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

The 'id' can be:

$(avp(id)[0]) can be written in shorter form as $avp(id) and $avp(s:name) as $avp(name).

AVPs are special variables that are attached to SIP transactions. It is a list of pairs (name,value). Before the transaction is created, the AVP list is attached to SIP request. Note that the AVP list works like a stack, last added value is retrieved first, and there can be many values for same AVP name, an assignment to the same AVP name does not overwrite old value, it will add the new value in the list.

To delete the first AVP with name 'id' you have to assign to it '$null':

$avp(id) = $null;

To delete all the AVP with name 'id' you have to assign $null to the index '*':

$(avp(id)[*]) = $null;

To overwrite the value of the AVP with name 'id' you have to assign the new value to the index '*':

$(avp(id)[*]) = newvalue;

The value of an AVP can be integer or string. To assign a value as string, it has to be enclosed in double quotes. To assign the value as integer, it has to be a valid number given without quotes.

Example of usage:

$avp(x) = 1;  # assign of integer value
$avp(x) = 2;
$avp(y) = "abc"; # assign of string value
if($(avp(x)[1])==1) {
  ...
}
$(avp(x)[1]) = $null;

It is R/W variable (you can assign values to it directly in configuration file).

$expires(key) - Expires Values

Return the min and max of expires value for current SIP message. Contact headers are checked with higher priority, if no expires parameter there, then Expires header is used

If none is found, $null is returned.

Possible 'key' values:

When there is only one expires value, then min and max return the same.

Example of usage:

if($expires(max)!=$null) {
    xlog("max expires value is: $expires(max)\n");
}

$xavp(id) - XAVPs

xavp - eXtended AVPs - are variables that can store multiple values, which can also be grouped in a structure-like fashion. Their value can be a string, an integer number or a list of named values (child values).

They work like a stack, similar to AVPs, and are attached to SIP transactions and automatically destroyed when the transaction is finished.

Each xavp has a string name and can contain a string, and integer or a list of named values. The structure name (or root list name) and the value name (or field name, or child value name) are separated by => like $xavp(root=>field) where “root” is the name of the structure and “field” is the name of the (child) value.

To assign a single value use:

$xavp(root)="string value";
$xavp(root)=intnumber;

To assign a named value use:

$xavp(root=>field)="string value";
$xavp(root=>field)=intnumber;

Like avps, xavp act like a stack. To refer to an existing value, use an index. The newest xavp has index zero [0].

$xavp(root[0]=>field)=12;

If you assign a value without an index, a new xavp is allocated and the old one is pushed up the stack, becoming index [1]. Old index [1] becomes [2] etc.

# new item (person => [(lastname = "Smith")])
$xavp(person=>lastname)="Smith";
 
# add new item (person => [(lastname = "Doe")])
$xavp(person=>lastname)="Doe";
 
# add another named value to the last example item
#   (person => [(firstname="John"), (lastname = "Doe")])
$xavp(person[0]=>firstname)="John";
 
# add another named value to first example item
#   (person => [(firstname="Alice"), (lastname = "Smith")])
xavp(person[1]=>firstname)="Alice";

Another example:

# create new (the first) root xavp with a named value of string type
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.10";
 
# add named values (child values)
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=10;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=15;
$xavp(sf[0]=>headers)="X-CustomerID: 1234\r\n";
 
# create new (the second) root xavp with a named value of string type, moving previous one to sf[1]
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.11";
# add named values (child values)
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=20;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=35;
 
# create new (the third) xavp with a named value of string type, moving previous one to sf[1] and the other one to sf[2]
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.12";
# add named values (child values)
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=10;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=15;
$xavp(sf[0]=>headers)="X-CustomerID: pw45\r\n";

xavps are read and write variables.

$xavu(id) - XAVUs

Similar to XAVPs, but with single value items, therefore there are no indexes in the naming format. XAVUs are also stored in transaction context and destroyed when the transaction is terminated.

Examples:

$xavu(x) = 123; # <- set the value
$xavu(x) = 234; # <- update to the value, not adding to a list like for xavps
$xavu(x) = $null; # <- delete the xavu
$xavu(a=>b) = "xyz"; # <- two level naming supported

$xavi(id) - XAVIs

Similar to XAVPs, but with key names are case insensitive. XAVIs are also stored in transaction context and destroyed when the transaction is terminated.

Examples:

$xavi(WhatEver=>FoO) = 123; # <- set the value
# $xavi(whatever[0]=>foo) == 123

$hdr(name) - Headers

$hdr(name) - represents the body of first header identified by 'name'

$(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 body of first header is returned when N=0, for the second N=1, a.s.o. In case of a comma-separated multi-body headers, it returns all the bodies, comma-separated. To print the last header of that type, use -1, or other negative values to count from the end. No white spaces are allowed inside the specifier (before }, before or after {, [, ] symbols). When N='*', all headers of that type are printed.

If name is *, then any header name is matched, e.g., $hdr(*) is body of first header, $(hdr(*)[-1]) is body of last header.

The module should identify compact header names. It is recommended to use dedicated specifiers for headers (e.g., $ua for user agent header), if they are available – they are faster.

Example of usage:

if($hdr(From)=~"kamailio\.org") {
...
}

It is read-only variable. You can remove or add headers using functions from textops module.

$hdrc(name) - Number of Headers

$hdrc(name) - get the number of headers with the respective name

Example of usage:

if($hdrc(Via) == 2) {
...
}

$var(name) - Private memory variables (zero)

$var(name) - refers to variables that can be used in configuration script, having integer or string value. This kind of variables are faster than AVPs, being referenced directly to memory location.

Example of usage:

$var(a) = 2; #-- sets the value of variable 'a' to integer '2'
$var(a) = "2"; #-- sets the value of variable 'a' to string '2'
$var(a) = "sip:" + $au + "@" + $fd; #-- compose a value from authentication username and From URI domain
$var(a) = 3 + (7&(~2));
 
if( $var(a) & 4 ) {
  xlog("var a has third bit set\n");
}

Note: Setting a variable to $null is actually initializing the value to integer '0'. This type of script variables doesn't have $null value.

$var(x) = $null;
 
if($var(x)==0) { # this is true
  ...
}

Note: A script variable persists over the Kamailio process in which it was initialized, so be sure of giving it a new value before reading it or you'll get the value asigned in any other previous message processed by the same Kamailio process (pid).

It is R/W variable (you can assign values to it directly in configuration file)

pv module can be used to initialize the script variables.

$vz(name) - Private memory variables (zero)

Same as $var(name) – added to pair with $vn(name).

$vn(name) - Private memory variables (null)

Similar to $var(name) and able to hold $null (which is the default value). The value is kept in private memory (pkg) and it is persistent across SIP message processing, within the space of each Kamailio process.

Example of usage:

$vn(x) = 1;

             " addr [$dns(xyz=>addr[$var(i)])]\n");
        $var(i) = $var(i) + 1;
    }
}

$HN(key) - Hostname details

Give local hostname details (implemented by ipops module).

The key can be:

xlog("local hostanme is $HN(n)\n");

$RANDOM - Random number

Returns a random value from the [0 - 2^31) range.

(Part of the cfgutils module)

if (rand_event()) {
  $avp(i:10) = ($RANDOM / 16777216); # 2^24
  if ($avp(i:10) < 10) {
     $avp(i:10) = 10;
  }
  append_to_reply("Retry-After: $avp(i:10)\n");
  sl_send_reply("503", "Try later");
  exit;
};

Request-URI and Destination-URI parsing

Following are some examples how RURI and DURI are parsed, for SIP-URIs, tel-URIs and Service-URNs:

 === Request URI contains SIP URI ===
$ru = "sip:example.com"
$rz = "sip"
$rU = "<null>"
$rd = "example.com"
$rp = "5060"
$rP = "UDP"

=== Request URI contains SIP URI ===
$ru = "sips:john.q.public:hispw@example.com:6061;transport=tls;foo=bar"
  $rz = "sips"
  $rU = "john.q.public"
  $rd = "example.com"
  $rp = "6061"
  $rP = "tls"

=== Request URI contains service URN ===
$ru = "urn:service:sos.fire"
  $rz = "urn"
  $rU = "service"
  $rd = "sos.fire"
  $rp = "5060"
  $rP = "UDP"

=== Request URI contains tel: URI ===
$ru = "tel:+1-201-555-0123"
  $rz = "tel"
  $rU = "+1-201-555-0123"
  $rd = "<null>"
  $rp = "5060"
  $rP = "UDP"

=== Request URI contains tel: URI with phone-context ===
$ru = "tel:7042;phone-context=example.com"
  $rz = "tel"
  $rU = "7042"
  $rd = "<null>"
  $rp = "5060"
  $rP = "UDP"

=== Destination URI (must be a SIP(S) URI) ===
$du = "sip:example.com:6061;transport=tls;foo=bar"
  $dd = "example.com"
  $dp = "6061"
  $dP = "tls"
