+			<para>Evaluates the given <replaceable>expression</replaceable> against the
+			channel specified by <replaceable>channelname</replaceable>, or the current
+			channel if <replaceable>channelname</replaceable> is not provided.</para>
+			<para>Unlike GET VARIABLE, the <replaceable>expression</replaceable> is
+			processed in a manner similar to dialplan evaluation, allowing complex
+			and built-in variables to be accessed, e.g. <literal>The time is
+			${EPOCH}</literal></para>
+			<para>Returns <literal>0</literal> if no channel matching
+			<replaceable>channelname</replaceable> exists, <literal>1</literal>
+			otherwise.</para>
+			<para>Example return code: 200 result=1 (The time is 1578493800)</para>
