[OpenSIPS-Users] Any official instructions how to use the MI commands?

[Xi Liu]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find the official documentation about how to use MI interface with named pipe, while I searched all over the web but can't find any...

Though I found an example in the list and able to repeat it, but still have two questions,

1, How can I pass parameters along with the command? Currently I can run those functions that does not require parameters, e.g. address_dump, uptime.
But I would like to use ul_add, ul_show_contact, etc.

2, I wrote a perl code which expected to read out put from opensips which for some reason never worked. When I wrote the perl code I took /example/web_MI/*.php as examples..

Any help would be appreciated!

================

Example I found,

mkfifo /tmp/my_fifo
cat /tmp/my_fifo&
echo -e ":address_dump:my_fifo\n\n" > /tmp/opensips_fifo
*returns*
200 OK
  48 <1.2.3.4,2, 0, 0, NULL, NULL>
** cat process ends

Perl code I wrote,
