For the moment the only documentation is in the source code. It should be 
fairly easy to extract the format of the commands. There are 3 stages 
where call_control communicates with the external application, called 
initialize, start and stop. There is a function named make_request that 
based on the specific stage constructs a request using a easily readable 
sprintf. Each request starts with the stage keyword on a line, then has 
lines with key: value pairs and ends with an empty line to indicate that 
the message is over.

You can also take the existing callcontrol application and modify it to do 
what you need (if the way you want to use it is compatible with GPL). It 
already contains all the message parsing logic.
