Record()¶

If filename contains '%d', these characters will be replaced with a number incremented by one each time the file is recorded. Use core show file formats to see the available formats on your system User can press '#' to terminate the recording and continue to the next priority. If the user hangs up during a recording, all data will be lost and the application will terminate.

• RECORDED_FILE - Will be set to the final filename of the recording, without an extension.
  
• RECORD_STATUS - This is the final status of the command
  
  • DTMF - A terminating DTMF was received ('#' or '*', depending upon option 't')
  • SILENCE - The maximum silence occurred in the recording.
  • SKIP - The line was not yet answered and the 's' option was specified.
  • TIMEOUT - The maximum length was reached.
  • HANGUP - The channel was hung up.
  • ERROR - An unrecoverable error occurred, which resulted in a WARNING to the logs.
