1. Overview

   This module provides a way to identify calls using an increasing
   sequence of integers.

   It starts assigning an integer to a call. Next call gets next free
   integer in a ring. When a call finishes its assigned number shall be
   freed.

2. Dependencies

   2.1. Kamailio Modules
   2.2. External Libraries or Applications

2.1. Kamailio Modules

   The following modules must be loaded before this module:
     * none.

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed before
   running Kamailio with this module loaded:
     * None.

3. Parameters

   3.1. start (integer)
   3.2. end (integer)

3.1. start (integer)

   First number to assign when no number has been assigned yet.

   This parameter has no default value. Not setting it raises an error.

   Its value shall be greater than zero.

   Example 1.1. Set start parameter
...
modparam("call_obj", "start", 10)
...

3.2. end (integer)

   Last number to assign when all other numbers have been already
   assigned.

   No default value. Not setting this parameter raises an error.

   Its value shall be greater than zero.

   Example 1.2. Set end parameter
...
modparam("call_obj", "end", 93)
...

4. Functions

   4.1. call_obj_get(reply_number)
   4.2. call_obj_free(object_number)

4.1.  call_obj_get(reply_number)

   Get next free number. reply_number parameter is a variable where
   function will store result in string format.

   Example 1.3. call_obj_get usage
...
if (call_obj_get("$dlg_var(x)")) {
        xlog("Object: $dlg_var(x)\n");
}
...

4.2.  call_obj_free(object_number)

   Mark an object_number as free, so it can be assigned again. This number
   will not be readily assigned until a loop in the ring has completed.
   object_number shall be provided in string format.

   Example 1.4. call_obj_free usage
...
$dlg_var(y) = "27";
if (call_obj_free("$dlg_var(y)")) {
        xlog("object $dlg_var(y) freed OK\n");
}
...

5. RPC Commands

   5.1. call_obj.free
   5.2. call_obj.stats
   5.3. call_obj.free_all
   5.4. call_obj.list

5.1. call_obj.free

   Free an object.

   Parameter is a number represented in string format.

   Name: call_obj.free

   Parameters: object_number

   Example 1.5. call_obj.free usage
...
kamcmd call_obj.free s:12
...

5.2. call_obj.stats

   Return some statistics about call_obj module.

   It currently returns:
     * Start: Number of first object
     * End: Number of last object in range
     * Total: Total assignable objects
     * Assigned: Number of currently assigned objects

   Name: call_obj.stats

   Parameters: none

   Example 1.6. call_obj.stats usage
...
kamcmd call_obj.stats
...

5.3. call_obj.free_all

   Make all objects free at once.

   Name: call_obj.free_all

   Parameters: none

   Example 1.7. call_obj.free_all usage
...
kamcmd call_obj.free_all
...

5.4. call_obj.list

   List all active calls which duration is longer than a value in seconds.

   Name: call_obj.list

   Parameters: duration limit

   limit parameter is optional

   Example 1.8. call_obj.list usage
...
Show every call which duration is less than or equal to 24 seconds:
kamcmd call_obj.list 24

Same but limit output to at most 5 calls:
kamcmd call_obj.list 24  5

Same but show again all calls (0 means no limit):
kamcmd call_obj.list 24  0
...
