<title>Overview</title>
<para>
The EVAPI module can be used to create an event message flow
from Kamailio to any application that can connect to a TCP
socket. The remote application can also issue messages received
by Kamailio.
</para>
<para>
There is no protocol definition, it is all up to the author of
the routing script. Events can be generated for any event in
Kamailio. For 3rd party transaction control, a transaction can
be automatically suspended when sending the event, to be resumed
at a later point, maybe triggered by an incoming message on the event socket.
