<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module provides asynchronous operations for handling SIP requests
in the configuration file.
</para>
<para>
Async uses t_suspend() and t_continue() from the TM and TMX modules.
</para>
<para>
Note that after invoking the asynchronous operation, the processing
will continue later in another application process. Therefore variables
stored in private memory should not be used, try to use shared memory if you
want to get values after the processing is resumed (e.g., $avp(...),
$xavp(...), $shv(...), htable $sht(...)).
</para>

<title>Parameters</title>
<section>
<title><varname>workers</varname> (int)</title>
<para>
Number of worker processes to be started to handle the asynchronous
tasks for async_route() and async_sleep().
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is 1.
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>

<title>Functions</title>
<section id="async.f.async_route">
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">async_route(routename, seconds)</function>
</title>
<para>
Simulate a sleep of 'seconds' and then continue the processing of the SIP
request with the route[routename]. In case of internal errors, the
function returns false, otherwise the function exits the execution of
the script at that moment (return 0 behaviour).
</para>
<para>
The routename parameter can be a static string or a dynamic string
value with config variables.
</para>
<para>
The sleep parameter represent the number of seconds to suspend the
processing of a SIP request. Maximum value is 100. The parameter can be
a static integer or a variable holding an integer.
</para>
<para>
Since the SIP request handling is resumed in another process,
the config file execution state is practically lost. Therefore beware
that the execution of config after resume will end once the
route[routename] is finished.
</para>
<para>
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
</para>
<example>
<title><function>async_route</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">

async_route("RESUME", "4");

</programlisting>

</section>
<section id="async.f.async_sleep">
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">async_sleep(seconds)</function>
</title>
<para>
Simulate a sleep of 'seconds' and then continue the processing of SIP
request with the next action. In case of internal errors, the function
returns false.
</para>
<para>
The sleep parameter represent the number of seconds to suspend the
processing of SIP request. Maximum value is 100. The parameter can be
a static integer or a variable holding an integer.

<section id="async.f.async_task_route">
<title>
<function moreinfo="none">async_task_route(routename)</function>
</title>
<para>
Continue the processing of the SIP request with the route[routename]
in one of the processes from core asynchronous framework. The core
parameter async_workers has to be set to enable asynchronous
framework. The task is executed as soon as a process from asynchronous
framework is idle, there is no wait time for the task like for
async_route(...).
</para>
<para>
To enable the core asynchronous framework, you need to set the
<emphasis>async_workers</emphasis> core parameter in the configuration
file. See the core cookbook for more information.
<example>
<title><function>async_workers</function> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">

In case of internal errors, the function returns false, otherwise the
function exits the execution of the script at that moment (return
