NAME
       vboxtcl - tcl commands for vboxgetty

CONTENT
       With  vbox  version 2.0, tcl can be used as a script language to act on
       incoming calls.

       Incoming calls are still taken by vboxgetty, but  further  actions  are
       made by the tcl script.

VARIABLES
       These are additional variables supplied by vboxgetty.

       vbox_var_bindir
              directory with vbox commands.

       vbox_var_savename
              name for this message to save. The name is constructed from time
              and process id. It's a good idea to use this name, but  you  can
              also use a different name.

       vbox_var_rectime
              maximum seconds to record.

       vbox_msg_timeout

FUNCTIONS
       vboxgetty also provides some additional functions to the user.

       Return Codes
              Most functions will use these return codes:

              ERROR  An error occurred.

              HANGUP The connection was ended. Script should end now.

              OK     The whole message was played, nothing occurred.

              Any  other error code is a touchtone sequence, that was detected
              during playing the message.

       vbox_breaklist <add|rem> <sequence> [...]
              With this command you  can  control  which  touchtone  sequences
              vboxgetty will recognize.

              Touchtone  sequences have the format *NUMBER#, where NUMBER is a
              sequence of the characters 0-9 and A-D. Even single numbers must
              be given in the format *NUMBER#. Vboxgetty detects if the caller
              gives a number as a single digit or as a part of a sequence.

              add <sequence> [...]
                     Add a touchtone sequence to breaklist. You can add up  to
                     8 sequences at one time.

              rem <sequence> [...]
                     Remove  a  touchtone  sequence  from  breaklist.  You can
                     remove up to 8 sequences at one time. You can use all  to
                     remove all sequences.

       vbox_put_message <message>
              Play a message and returns an error code depending on the reason
              to stop playing. Default return codes.

              message
                     full name of the message file (with path).

       vbox_get_message <savename> <timelimit>
              Records a message. Default return codes. Options are:

              savename
                     full name of the file for saving the message.

              timelimit
                     maximum time to record the message.

       vbox_wait <seconds>
              Waits for several seconds for  an  input  from  caller.  Default
              return codes.  Options are:

              seconds
                     time to wait.

       vbox_init_touchtones
              Clears vboxgetty touchtone sequence. Normal way is to append all
              new touchtones to the sequence, the  sequence  is  only  cleared
              when a "*" touchtone is received.

       vbox_pause <ms>
              waits a specific number of milliseconds.

              ms     number of milliseconds to wait.

       vbox_get_nr_new_messages <messagebox>
              Return the number of new messages in the directory.

              messagebox
                     the directory to scan

       vbox_get_nr_all_messages <messagebox>
              Return the number of messages in the directory.

              messagebox
                     the directory to scan
