Name

Busy() — Indicates a busy condition to the channel

Synopsis

Busy([timeout])

Requests that the channel indicate the busy condition and then waits for the user to hang up or for the optional timeout (in seconds) to expire.

This application signals a busy condition only to the bridged channel. Each particular channel type has its own way of communicating the busy condition to the caller. You can use Playtones(busy) to play a busy tone to the caller.
