<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module provides the possibility to print user formatted log or
debug messages from &ser; scripts, similar to printf function but now
a specifier is replaced with a part of the &sip; request or other
variables from system.
<xref linkend="sec-implemented-specifiers"> shows what can be printed
out.
</para>
</section>
<section id="sec-implemented-specifiers">
<title>Implemented Specifiers</title>
<para>
The specifiers have been replaced by pseudo-variables which are
now part of &ser; core and are used by other modules as well (e.g., avpops
in the function avp_printf())
</para>
<para>
The most important changes are:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- '%' has been replaced by '$'
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- to print a header, use now $hdr(header_name[index]) instead of
%{header_name[index]}
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- to print an AVP, use now $avp([si]:avp_id[index]) instead of
%{[si]:avp_id[index]} or $avp([$avp_alias[index]) instead of
%{[$avp_alias[index]}
</para>
</listitem>
