4.1.  t_cancel_branches(which)

   Cancel branches of an active SIP transaction. The function can be
   called for a SIP reply that will identify the current branch.

   Parameter can be:.
     * all - cancel all branches.
     * others - cancel all branches but the current one.
     * this - cancel current branch.

   This function can be used in ONREPLY_ROUTE.

...
if (t_cancel_branches("all")) {
        xlog("cancelled all branches\n");
}
...

4.2.  t_cancel_callid(callid, cseq, flag [, rcode])

   Cancel first INVITE transaction identified by callid and cseq. It sets
   the flag if the value is greater than zero

   Parameters:.
     * callid - call-id value.
     * cseq - cseq number.
     * flag - index of the flag to set.
     * rcode - code to be added as cause attribute in Reason header for
       generated CANCEL request. This parameter is optional.

   This function can be used in ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.3. t_cancel_callid usage
...
if (t_cancel_callid("123qaz", "5", "22")) {
        xlog("transaction cancelled\n");
}
...

4.3.  t_reply_callid(callid, cseq, code, reason)

   Send reply to first transaction identified by callid and cseq.

   Parameters:.
     * callid - call-id value.
     * cseq - cseq number.
     * code - reply code.
     * reason - reply reason.

        xlog("transaction replied\n");
}
...

4.4.  t_flush_flags()

   Flush the flags from current SIP message into the already created
   transaction. It make sense only in routing block if the transaction was
   created via t_newtran() and the flags have been altered since.

   It is not needed to execute this function when using t_relay() (or
   similar tm relay functions, flags are synchronized automatically in
   that case).

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.5. t_flush_flags usage
...
t_flush_flags();
...

4.5.  t_flush_xflags()

   Flush the extended flags from current SIP message into the already
   created transaction. It make sense only in routing block if the
   transaction was created via t_newtran() and the extended flags have
   been altered since.

   It is not needed to execute this function when using t_relay() (or
   similar tm relay functions, xflags are synchronized automatically in
   that case).

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.6. t_flush_xflags usage
...
t_flush_xflags();
...

4.6.  t_is_failure_route()

   Returns true if the top-executed route block is failure_route.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.7. t_is_failure_route usage
...
failure_route[xyz] {
    route(abc);
}

route[abc] {
    if(t_is_failure_route()) { ... }
}
...

4.7.  t_is_branch_route()

   Returns true if the top-executed route block is branch_route.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.8. t_is_branch_route usage
...
branch_route[xyz] {
    route(abc);
}

route[abc] {
    if(t_is_branch_route()) { ... }
}
...

4.8.  t_is_reply_route()

   Returns true if the top-executed route block is reply_route.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.9. t_is_reply_route usage
...
reply_route[xyz] {
    route(abc);
}

route[abc] {
    if(t_is_reply_route()) { ... }
}
...

4.9.  t_is_request_route()

   Returns true if the top-executed route block is request_route.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.10. t_is_request_route usage
...
request_route[xyz] {
    route(abc);
}

route[abc] {
    if(t_is_request_route()) { ... }
}
...

4.10.  t_suspend()

   Suspend the execution of SIP request in a transaction. If transaction
   was not created yet, it is created by this function. Returns true in
   case of success and internal transaction index and label are available
   via $T(id_index) and $T(id_label).

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE .

   Example 1.11. t_suspend usage
...
if(t_suspend())
{
    xlog("processing suspended in transaction [$T(id_index):$T(id_label)]\n");
    exit;
}
...

4.11.  t_continue(tindex, tlabel, rtname)

   Continue the execution of the transaction identified by tindex and
   tlabel with the actions defined in route[rtname].

   Parameters:.
     * tindex - internal index of transaction. Can be an integer or a
       pseudo-variable.
     * tlabel - internal label of transaction. Can be an integer or a
       pseudo-variable.
     * rtname - the name of the route block to execute. Can be a static
       string value or a dynamic string with pseudo-variables.

   Important note: the route[rtname] is executed in the context of a
   failure (same behaviour for functions as they were used in a
   failure_route block).

   This function can be used in ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.12. t_continue usage
...
t_continue('123', '456', 'MYROUTE');
...
route[MYROUTE] {
  xlog("executed by t continue\n");
  ...
}
...

4.12.  t_drop([rcode])

   Drops the transaction with response code (500 default).

   Parameters:.
     * rcode - response code to set in uas status.

   This function can be used in ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.13. t_drop usage
...
route[MYREQ]
{
...
    if (!t_newtran()) {
        xlog("L_ERROR", "$ci|log|failed to create transaction\n");
        drop;
    }

    t_on_failure("TR_ERROR");
    t_on_reply("TR_OK");
    t_relay();
}

failure_route[TR_ERROR]
{
    xlog("L_INFO", "$ci|log|failed $T_reply_code $T_reply_reason\n");
    t_drop();
}

onreply_route[TR_OK]
{
   xlog("L_INFO", "$ci|log|checking transaction result\n");
   if(status=~"60[0-9]") {
      t_drop();
   }
...
}
...

4.13.  t_reuse_branch()

   Creates new "main" branch by making copy of branch-failure branch.
   Currently the following branch attributes are copied from
   branch-failure branch: request-uri, ruid, path, instance, and branch
   flags.

   This function can be used from tm:branch-failure event_route.

   Example 1.14. t_reuse_branch usage
...
event_route [tm:branch-failure:contact] {
    t_reuse_branch();
    setbflag(10);
    t_relay();
    exit;
}
...

4.14.  t_precheck_trans()

   Check if current processed message is handled by other process. This
   function is useful to catch retransmissions before transaction is
   created. The function returns true if the request is handled by another
   process.

   Note that ACK and CANCEL requests are not tracked by this function, the
   return code being false for them.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE .

   Example 1.15. t_precheck_trans usage
...
    # handle retransmissions
    if(t_precheck_trans()) {
        t_check_trans();
        exit;
    }
    t_check_trans();
...
