NAME

Asterisk::config - the Asterisk config read and write module.

SYNOPSIS

    use Asterisk::config;

    my $sip_conf = new Asterisk::config(file=>'/etc/asterisk/sip.conf');
    my $conference = new Asterisk::config(file=>'/etc/asterisk/meetme.conf',
                                              keep_resource_array=>0);

    $allow = $sip_conf->fetch_values_arrayref(section=>'general',key=>'allow');
    print $allow->[0];

    $sip_conf->assign_append(point=>'down',data=>"[userb]\ntype=friend\n");

    $sip_conf->save();

DESCRIPTION

Asterisk::config can parse and saving data with Asterisk config files. this module support asterisk 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6, and it also support Zaptel config files.

Note

Version 0.9 syntax incompitable with 0.8.

CLASS METHOD

new

    $sip_conf = new Asterisk::config(file=>'file name',
                                     [stream_data=>$string],
                                     [object variable]);

Instantiates a new object of file. Reads data from stream_data or file.

OBJECT VARIABLES

FIXME: should all of those be documented in the POD (rather than in comments in the code?)

file

Config file name and path. Must be set. If file does exists (exp. data from stream_data), you will not be able to save using save_file.

keep_resource_array

use resource array when save make fast than open file, but need more memory, default enabled. use set_objvar to change it.

reload_when_save

When save done, auto call .

Enabled by default. Use set_variable to change it.

FIXME: what is set_variable?

clean_when_reload

When reload done, auto clean_assign with current object.

Enabled by default. Use set_objvar to change it.

commit_list

Internal variable listed all command.

parsed_conf

Internal variable of parsed.

OBJECT READ METHOD

get_objvar

    $sip_conf->get_objvar(var_name);

Return defined object variables.

fetch_sections_list

    $sip_conf->fetch_sections_list();

List of sections (not including unsection) in a file.

fetch_sections_hashref

    $sip_conf->fetch_sections_hashref();

Returns the config file parsed as a hash (section name -> section) of lists (list of lines).

fetch_keys_list

    $sip_conf->fetch_keys_list(section=>[section name|unsection]);

Returns list of the kes in the keys in section name (or unsection).

fetch_keys_hashref

    $sip_conf->fetch_keys_hashref(section=>[section name|unsection]);

Returns the section as a hash of key=>value pairs.

fetch_values_arrayref

    $sip_conf->fetch_values_arrayref(section=>[section name|unsection],
                                     key=>key name);

Returns a (reference to a) list of all the values a specific keys have in a specific section. referenced value list, Returns 0 if section was not found or key was not found in the section.

reload

    $sip_conf->reload();

Reloads and parses the config file.

If clean_when_reload is true, will also do clean_assign.

OBJECT WRITE METHOD

set_objvar

    $sip_conf->set_objvar('var_name'=>'value');

Set the object variables to new value.

assign_cleanfile

    $sip_conf->assign_cleanfile();

Resets all the non-saved changes (from other assign_* functions).

assign_matchreplace

    $sip_conf->assign_matchreplace(match=>[string],replace=>[string]);

replace new data when matched.

  • match -> string of matched data.

  • replace -> new data string.

assign_append

Used to add extra data to an existing section or to edit it.

    $sip_conf->assign_append(point=>['up'|'down'|'foot'],
                             section=>[section name],
                             data=>'key=value'|['key=value','key=value']|{key=>'value',key=>'value'});

This form is used to merely append new data.

point

Append data up / down / foot with section.

section

Matched section name, expect 'unsection'. If ommited, data will be placed above first setcion, as in 'unsection', but then you cannot use point="foot">.

data

New replace data in string/array/hash.

    $sip_conf->assign_append(point=>['up'|'down'|'over'],
                             section=>[section name],
                             comkey=>[key,value],
                             data=>'key=value'|['key=value','key=value']|{key=>'value',key=>'value'};

Appends data before, after or instead a given line. The line is the first line in section where the key is key and the value is value (from comkey.

point

over will overwrite with key/value matched.

comkey

Match key and value.

assign_replacesection

    $sip_conf->assign_replacesection(section=>[section name|unsection],
                             data=>'key=value'|['key=value','key=value']|{key=>'value',key=>'value'});

replace the section body data.

  • section -> all section name and 'unsection'.

assign_delsection

    $sip_conf->assign_delsection(section=>[section name|unsection]);

erase section name and section data.

  • section -> all section and 'unsection'.

assign_addsection

    $sip_conf->assign_addsection(section=>[section]);

add section with name.

  • section -> name of new section.

assign_editkey

    $sip_conf->assign_editkey(section=>[section name|unsection],key=>[keyname],value=>[value],new_value=>[new_value]);

modify value with matched section.if don't assign value=> will replace all matched key.

warnning example script:

    $sip_conf->assign_editkey(section=>'990001',key=>'all',new_value=>'gsm');

data:

    all=g711
    all=ilbc

will convert to:

    all=gsm
    all=gsm

assign_delkey

    $sip_conf->assign_delkey(section=>[section name|unsection],key=>[keyname],value=>[value]);

erase all matched keyname in section or in 'unsection'.

    $sip_conf->assign_delkey(section=>[section name|unsection],key=>[keyname],value_regexp=>[exten_number]);

erase when matched exten number.

        exten => 100,n,...
        exten => 102,n,...

save_file

    $sip_conf->save_file([new_file=>'filename']);

process commit list and save to file. if reload_when_save true will do reload. if no object variable file or file not exists or can't be save return failed. if defined new_file will save to new file, default overwrite objvar 'file'.
