Bringing in few more details ...

The named flags feature was added by SER developer during 2005-2008, when Kamailio (well, openser at that time) and SER were different projects. In 2008, as we started merging the source trees of Kamailio and SER back in one repo (which became what is not Kamailio project), named flags were propagated.

However, as for a personal experience, I never took the time to play with them to see if they can be used "everywhere" -- for sure you can use then in setflag/resetflag/isflagset functions, but I am not sure if they work for branch flags and module parameters, or other places where a flag index is expected.

In Kamailio we had the #!define feature that allowed to give a "name" for a flag and that's how we have in default kamailio.cfg -- somewhere at the top you can see #!define for FLT_* and FLB_* flags.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Joel,

Yes, this is a gap in the core cookbook documentation.

I learned about named flags back in the day:
