<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module allows executing Lua scripts from config file. It exports
a set of functions to Lua in order to access the current processed
SIP message. These functions are within Lua module 'sr'.
</para>
<para>
Lua (http://www.lua.org) is a fast and easy to embed scripting
language. Exported API from SIP router to Lua is documented in the
dokuwiki.
</para>
<para>
The module has two Lua contexts:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>first</emphasis> is used for functions lua_dofile()
and lua_dostring().
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>second</emphasis> is used for function lua_run()
and parameter 'load'. Therefore lua_run() cannot execute functions
from scripts loaded via lua_dofile() in config. This is kind of
caching mode, avoiding reading file every time, but you must be sure
you do not have someting that is executed by default and requires
access to SIP message.

<title>Exported Parameters</title>
<section>
<title><varname>load</varname> (string)</title>
<para>
Set the path to the Lua script to be loaded at startup. Then you
can use lua_run(function, params) to execute a function from the
script at runtime.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is <quote>null</quote>.
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>load</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("lua", "load", "/usr/local/etc/kamailio/lua/myscript.lua")
...
</programlisting>
</example>

<section>
<title><varname>register</varname> (string)</title>
<para>
Use this function to register optional SIP Router submodules
to Lua. Available submodules are:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>sl</emphasis> - register functions from sl module
under 'sr.sl'.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
Note that 'sr', 'sr.hdr' and 'sr.pv' modules are always registered
to Lua.
</para>

Default value is <quote>null</quote>.

<section>
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">lua_dofile(path)</function>
</title>
<para>
Execute the Lua script stored in 'path'. The parameter can be
a string with pseudo-variables evaluated at runtime.
</para>
<example>
<title><function>lua_dofile</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
lua_dofile("/usr/local/etc/kamailio/lua/myscript.lua");

</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">lua_dostring(script)</function>
</title>
<para>i
Execute the Lua script stored in parameter. The parameter can be
a string with pseudo-variables.
</para>
<example>
<title><function>lua_dostring</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
if(!lua_dostring("sr.log([[err]], [[----------- Hello World from $fU\n]])"))

}
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">lua_run(function, params)</function>
</title>
<para>
Execute the Lua function 'func' giving params as parameters. There
can be up to 3 string parameters. The function must exist in the
script loaded at startup via parameter 'load'. Parameters can be
strings with pseudo-variables that are evaluated at runtime.
</para>
<example>
<title><function>lua_run</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
if(!lua_run("sr_append_fu_to_reply"))
{
xdbg("SCRIPT: failed to execute lua function!\n");
}
...
lua_run("lua_funcx", "$rU", "2");
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">lua_runstring(script)</function>
</title>
<para>i
Execute the Lua script stored in parameter. The parameter can be
a string with pseudo-variables. The script is executed in Lua context
specific to loaded Lua files at startup.
</para>
<example>
<title><function>lua_runstring</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">

Load the script via parameter 'load' and execute function
via lua_run(...).
</para>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
