Hi everyone,

In the page where a module is described, there is a list of dependencies that have to be met in order to use the module, the list of exported parameters that might need to be set in the configuration file and a list of exported functions which can be used in the configuration script. I've noticed as well, that there are some "Exported MI functions" but I was wondering if any of you know what the purpose of those functions is, where and how such functions could be used?

mi functions can be used in control commands that can be sent via fifo file, unix/datagram socket or xmlrpc. We start to deprecate them in favour of RPC control interface.

One option to run mi commands is via kamctl:

kamctl fifo command params

Examples:

kamctl fifo ps kamctl fifo uptime

To see what mi commands are available:

kamctl fifo which

With 3.0+ you can use sercmd as well, e.g.,:

sercmd> mi which sercmd> mi ps

Cheers, Daniel
