Once there was a need * to disseminate data whose definition was provided by the producers/consumers, * it was no longer possible to use the binary representation in the generic * event system. * * That aside, the generic event system is still useful and used by several * modules in Asterisk. * - CEL uses the \ref ast_event representation to pass information to registered * backends. * - The \file res_corosync.c module publishes \ref ast_event representations of * information to other Asterisk instances in a cluster. * - Security event represent their event types and data using this system. * - Theoretically, any \ref stasis message can use this system to pass * information around in a binary format. * * Events have an associated event type, as well as information elements. The * information elements are the meta data that go along with each event. For * example, in the case of message waiting indication, the event type is MWI, * and each MWI event contains at least three information elements: the * mailbox, the number of new messages, and the number of old messages. */ #ifndef AST_EVENT_H #define AST_EVENT_H #if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(c_plusplus) extern "C" { #endif #include "asterisk/event_defs.h" /*! * \brief Create a new event * * \param event_type The type of event to create * * The rest of the arguments to this function specify information elements to * add to the event.
