Variáveis Core

O OpenSIPS prove varios tipos de variaveis para serem usados no script de roteamento, as diferenças entre os tipos de variaveis são:

• 1. A visibilidade da variavel
• 2. Onde a variavel é relacionada (onde a mesma reside)
• 3. Status read-write da variavel ( algumas variaveis são apenas de leitura)
• 4. Como multiplos valores (da mesma variavel) são manipulados.

As variáveis do OpenSIPS podem facilmente ser identificadas no script apartir de seus nomes (ou nota'ões) iniciando com o simbolo $

Sintaxe:

A sintaxe completa de uma pseudo-variavel é:

$(%green%<context>%black%name%green%(subname)[index]{transformation}%%)

The fields written in green are optional. The fields meaning is:

• name(compulsory) - the pseudo-variable name(type).\\

Ex: pvar, avp, ru, DLG_status, etc.

• subname - the identifier of a certain pv from the given type.\\

Ex: hdr(From), avp(name).

• index - a pv can store more than one value - it can refer to a list of values. You can access a certain value from the list if you specify its index. You can also specify indexes with negative values, -1 means the last inserted, -2 the value before the previous inserted one.
• transformation - a series of processing actions can be applied on pseudo-variable. You can find the whole list of possible transformations here. The transformations can be cascaded, using the output of one transformation as the input of another.
• context - the context in which the pseudo0variable will be evaluated. Now there are 2 pv contexts: reply and request. The reply context can be used in the failure route to request for the pseudo-variable to be evaluated in the context of the reply message. The request context can be used if in a reply route is desired for the pv to be evaluated in the context of the corresponding request.

Usage examples:

• Only name: %green%$ru
• Name' and subname: %green%$hdr(Contact)%%
• Name and index: %green%$(ct[0])%%
• Name, subname and index: %green%$(avp(i:10)[2])
• Context
  • %green%$(<request>ru)%% from a reply route will get the Request-URI from the request
  • %green%$(<reply>hdr(Contact))%% context can be used from failure route to access information from the reply

Types of variables:

• script variables - as the name says, these variables are strictly bound to the script routes. The variables are visible only in the routing blocks - they are not message or transaction related, but they are process related (script variables will be inherited by script routes executed by the same OpenSIPS process).\\

Script variables are read write and they can have integer or string values. A script variable can have only a single value. A new assignment (or write operation) will overwrite the existing value.

• AVP - Attribute Value Pair - the AVPs are dynamic variables (as name) that can be created - the AVPS are linked to a singular message or transaction (if stateful processing is used). A message or a transaction will initially (when received or created) have an empty list of AVPS attached to it. During the routing script, the script directly or functions called from script may create new AVPS that will automatically attached to the message/transaction. The AVPS will be visible in all routes where any message (reply or request) of the transaction will be processed - branch_route , failure_route, onreply_route (for this last route you need to enable the TM parameter onreply_avp_mode).\\

AVPs are read write and an existing AVP can be even deleted (removed). An AVP may contain multiple values - a new assignment (or write operation) will add a new value to the AVP; the values are kept in "last added first to be used" order (stack).

• pseudo variables - pseudo-variables (or PV) provide access to information from the processed SIP message (headers, RURI, transport level info, a.s.o) or from OpenSIPS inners (time values, process PID, return code of a function). Depending of what info they provide, the PVs are either bound to the message, either to nothing (global). Most of the PVs are read-only and only several allow write operations. A PV may return several values or only one, depending of the referred info (if can have multiple values or not).\\

Standard PV is read-only and returns a single value (if not otherwise documented).

• escape sequences - escape sequences used to format the strings; they are actually not variables, but rather formatters.

#varscript !!!Script variables

Naming: **$var(name)**

Hints:

1. if you want to start using a script variable in a route, better initialize it with same value (or reset it), otherwise you may inherit a value from a previous route that was executed by the same process.
2. script variables are faster the AVPs, being referenced directly to memory location.
3. the value of script variables persists over a OpenSIPS process.
4. a script value can have only one value.

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) = 3 + (7&(~2)); # arithmetic and bitwise operation $var(a) = "sip:" + $au + "@" + $fd; # compose a value from authentication username and From URI domain

1. using a script variable for tests

if( [ $var(a) & 4 ] ) {

 xlog("var a has third bit set\n");

} @]

Setting a variable to NULL is actually initializing the value to integer '0'. Script variables don't have NULL value.

#varavps !!!AVP variables

Naming: **$avp(name)** or **$(avp(name)[N])**

When using the index "N" you can force the AVP to return a certain value (the N-th value). If no index is given, the first value will be returned.

Hints:

1. to enable AVPs in onreply_route, use "modparam("tm", "onreply_avp_mode", 1)"
2. if multiple values are used for a single AVP, the values are index in revert order than added
3. AVPs are part of the transaction context, so they will be visible everywhere where the transaction is present.
4. the value of an AVP can be deleted

Example of usage:

1. Transaction persistence example

[@

1. enable avps in onreply route

modparam("tm", "onreply_avp_mode", 1) ... route{ ... $avp(tmp) = $Ts ; # store the current time (at request processing) ... t_onreply("1"); t_relay(); ... }

onreply_route[1] { if (t_check_status("200")) { # calculate the setup time $var(setup_time) = $Ts - $avp(tmp); } } @]

1. Multilple values example

[@ $avp(17) = "one";

1. we have a single value

$avp(17) = "two";

1. we have two values ("two","one")

$avp(17) = "three";

1. we have three values ("three","two","one")

xlog("accessing values with no index: $avp(17)\n");

1. this will print the first value, which is the last added value -> "three"

xlog("accessing values with no index: $(avp(17)[2])\n");

1. this will print the index 2 value (third one), -> "one"

1. remove the last value of the avp; if there is only one value, the AVP itself will be destroyed

$avp(17) = NULL;

1. delete all values and destroy the AVP

avp_delete("$avp(17)/g");

1. delete the value located at a certain index

$(avp(17)[1]) = NULL;

1. overwrite the value at a certain index

$(avp(17)[0]) = "zero"; @]

The AVPOPS module provides a lot of useful functions to operate AVPs (like checking values, pushing values into different other locations, deleting AVPs, etc).

#varpv !!!Pseudo Variables

Naming: $name

Hints:

1. the PV tokens can be given as parameters to different script functions and they will be replaced with a value before the execution of the function.
2. most of PVs are made available by OpenSIPS core, but there are also module exporting PV (to make available info specific to that module) - check the modules documentation.

Predefined (provided by core) PVs are listed in alphabetical order.

!!!!Branch flags (hexadecimal) %red%(Removed in OpenSIPS 1.9)%%

$bF - reference to branch flags - hexa output

!!!!Branch

$branch - this variable is used for creating new branches by writing into it the value of a SIP URI. Examples: [@

  # creates a new branch
  $branch = "sip:new@doamin.org";
  # print its URI
  xlog("last added branch has URI $(branch(uri)[-1]) \n");

@]

!!!!Branch fields

$branch() - this variable provides read/write access to all fields/attributes of an already existing branch (priorly created with append_branch() ). The fields of the branch are:

• uri - the RURI of the branch (string value)
• duri - destination URI of the branch (outbound proxy of the branch) (string value)
• q - q value of the branch (int value)
• path - the PATH string for this branch (string value)
• flags - the branch flags of this branch (int value)
• socket - the local socket to be used for relaying this branch (string value)

The variable accepts also index $(branch(uri)[1]) for accessing a specific branch (multiple branches can be defined at a moment). The index starts from 0 (first branch). If the index is negative, it is considered the n-th branch from the end ( index -1 means the last branch).\\ To get all branches, use the * index - $(branch(uri)[*]).\\ Examples: [@

  # creates the first branch
  append_branch();
  # creates the second branch
  force_send_socket(udp:192.168.1.10:5060);
  $du = "sip:192.168.2.10";
  append_branch("sip:foo@bar.com","0.5");

  # display branches
  xlog("----- branch 0: $(branch(uri)[0]) , $(branch(q)[0]), $(branch(duri)[0]), $(branch(path)[0]), $(branch(flags)[0]), $(branch(socket)[0]) \n");
  xlog("----- branch 1: $(branch(uri)[1]) , $(branch(q)[1]), $(branch(duri)[1]), $(branch(path)[1]), $(branch(flags)[1]), $(branch(socket)[1]) \n");

  # do some changes over the branches
  $branch(uri) = "sip:user@domain.ro";   # set URI for the first branch
  $(branch(q)[0]) = 1000;  # set to 1.00 for the first branch
  $(branch(socket)[1]) = NULL;  # reset the socket of the second branch
  $branch(duri) = NULL;  # reset the destination URI or the first branch

!!!!SIP 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 OpenSIPS 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.

$(hdrcnt(name)) -- returns number of headers of type given by 'name'. Uses same rules for specifying header names as $hdr(name) above. Many headers (e.g., Via, Path, Record-Route) may appear more than once in the message. This variable returns the number of headers of a given type.

Note that some headers (e.g., Path) may be joined together with commas and appear as a single header line. This variable counts the number of header lines, not header values.

For message fragment below, $hdrcnt(Path) will have value 2 and $(hdr(Path)[0]) will have value <a.com>: [@

   Path: <a.com>
   Path: <b.com>

@]

For message fragment below, $hdrcnt(Path) will have value 1 and $(hdr(Path)[0]) will have value <a.com>,<b.com>: [@

   Path: <a.com>,<b.com>

@]

Note that both examples above are semantically equivalent but the variables take on different values.
