-The Asterisk dialplan
-=====================
-
-The Asterisk dialplan is divided into contexts. A context is simply a group
-of extensions. For each "line" that should be able to be called, an extension
-must be added to a context. Then, you configure the calling "line" to have
-access to this context.
-
-If you change the dialplan, you can use the Asterisk CLI command
-"extensions reload" to load the new dialplan without disrupting
-service in your PBX.
-
-Extensions are routed according to priority and may be based on any set
-of characters (a-z), digits, #, and *. Please note that when matching a
-pattern, "N", "X", and "Z" are interpreted as classes of digits.
-
-For each extension, several actions may be listed and must be given a unique
-priority. When each action completes, the call continunes at the next priority
-(except for some modules which use explicitly GOTO's).
-
-When each action completes, it generally moves to the next priority (except for
-some modules which use explicitly GOTO's.
-
-Extensions frequently have data they pass to the executing application
-(most frequently a string). You can see the available dialplan applications
-by entering the "show applications" command in the CLI.
-
-In this version of Asterisk, dialplan functions are added. These can
-be used as arguments to any application. For a list of the installed
-functions in your Asterisk, use the "show functions" command.
-
-* Example dial plan
-
-The example dial plan, in the configs/extensions.conf.sample file
-is installed as extensions.conf if you run "make samples" after
-installation of Asterisk. This file includes many more instructions
-and examples than this file, so it's worthwile to read it.
-
-* Special extensions
-
-There are some extensions with important meanings:
-
- s: What to do when an extension context is entered (unless
- overridden by the low level channel interface)
- This is used in macros, and some special cases.
- "s" is not a generic catch-all wildcard extension.
- i: What to do if an invalid extension is entered
- h: The hangup extension, executed at hangup
- t: What to do if nothing is entered in the requisite amount
- of time.
- T: This is the extension that is executed when the 'absolute'
- timeout is reached. See "show function TIMEOUT" for more
- information on setting timeouts.
-
-And finally, the extension context "default" is used when either a) an
-extension context is deleted while an extension is in use, or b) a specific
-starting extension handler has not been defined (unless overridden by the
-low level channel interface).
