Name
Directory() — Provides a dialable directory of extensions
Synopsis
Directory(vm-context[,dial-context[,options]])
Presents users with a directory of extensions from which they
may select by name. The list of names and extensions is discovered
from voicemail.conf. The
vm-context argument is required; it
specifies the context of voicemail.conf to
use.
The dial-context argument is the
context to use for dialing the users, and it defaults to
vm-context if unspecified. Currently, the
only option that can be specified in the
options argument is f, which causes the directory to match based
on the first name in voicemail.conf instead of
the last name.
If the user enters 0 (zero)
and there exists an extension o
(the lowercase letter o) in the current context, the call control will
go to that extension. Entering *
will exit similarly, but to the a
extension, much like Voicemail()’s
behavior.
Returns 0 unless the user
hangs up.
