Lua API

Initial author:

Module app_lua allows execution of Lua scripts from SIP router configuration file, providing access to SIP message which is processed at that time. Exported functions by app_lua are available in the Lua script as package sr.

References:

• app_lua module: README
• Lua: http://www.lua.org

Remarks:

• check the modules' documentation that export functions to Lua (they match subpackage name) to understand better the functionality provided by specific functions
• the parameters must be strings if the prototype have them in between double quotes, or integers if there are no double quotes
• any parameter specified in prototype enclosed in between square brackets is optional

Core functions.

Print message to L_DBG level using internal log API.

Prototype

sr.dbg("message")

Print message to L_ERR level using internal log API.

Prototype

sr.err("message")

Print message to 'level' using internal log API.

Prototype

Parameter level can be"

Run a function exported by a module

Prototype:

sr.modf("function", "param1", "param2", ...);

Can be up to 6 optional parameters.

Example:

sr.modf("sl_reply_error");

Note that module functions that have parameter fixups cannot be executed unless they have free fixup. This is to prevent memory leaks caused by fixup functions. If you have doubts about a module function, whether it is safe to execute or not from Lua, ask on devel mailing list: sr-dev [at] lists.sip-router.org.
