Name
Transfer() — Transfers the caller to a remote extension
Synopsis
Transfer([Technology/]destination[,options)
Requests that the remote caller be transferred to the
given (optional Technology and)
destination. If the
Technology is set to IAX2, SIP, Zap, etc.,
then transfer will happen only if the incoming call is of the same
channel type.
Upon completion, this application sets a channel variable named
TRANSFERSTATUS to one of the
following values:
SUCCESSThe transfer was successful.
FAILUREThe transfer was not successful.
UNSUPPORTEDThe transfer was not supported by the underlying channel driver.
If the options parameter is set to
the letter j and the transfer is
not supported or successful, and there exists a
priority n+101 (where n is the current priority), that priority
will be taken next.
