<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This patch begins to add AMI event documentation to Asterisk. This patch includes the following:
* Pulling AMI event XML documentation out of the Asterisk source and into the XML documentation produced by the build tools
* Validating the XML when -dev-mode is enabled
* Reading/parsing the XML documentation when Asterisk starts
* Two new CLI commands: 'manager show events' and 'manager show event [event_name]'
* Event documentation for the core applications
So... AMI events are a bit trickier then other things we've attempted to document in the past. There were a number of factors to consider when approaching this:
1. There are a lot of AMI events, and they are located throughout the code base
2. AMI events can occur multiple times with different parameters, but still be the same 'event' type
3. AMI events can occur multiple times, in different implementation files
4. There is a significant amount of repeated information between events
5. Much of the information that a person cares about (AMI event keys) are - more often then not - easily obtained from a method call
To that end, documentation for AMI events is treated a bit differently then other items. There are a few major shifts in how the documentation is extracted:
1. The previous documentation extraction used an awk script that pulled the documentation from a single comment block (delineated by /*** DOCUMENTATION ... ***/). That still exists; however, if you want AMI event documentation, you have to use 'make full'. This calls a different documentation extraction script, written in python. That script lets us do a few things that the awk script did not:
* Documentation can now exist anywhere in the source file
* The documentation for manager events can be co-located with the method calls that raise the event. If the method call is recognized, event parameters are automatically read from the method call and populated in the documentation
* Documentation is combined where appropriate. Thus, if the same event is raised in multiple places, the parameters only need to be defined once.
2. Previously, documentation was registered with the application/function/command that it was associated with. Events are never registered with any controller; requiring them to do so would incur a run-time performance penalty for little gain. Hence, the xmldoc core now allow documentation for an entire source type to be requested at run-time. When requested, the documentation is built from the XML read in.
Example manager events:
