       runtime.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.10. pv_printf usage
...
pv_printf("$ru", "sip:$rU@$fd");
pv_printf("$avp(x)", "From: $fU - To: $tU");
...

3.11. is_myself(uri)

   Check if the parameter matches the 'myself' condition (i.e., is a local
   IP or domain). Note that if the port is missing in the URI, then no
   port matching is done (in other words, port matching is skipped -- it
   does not use default SIP ports 5060 or 5061 for matching).

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * uri - Valid SIP URI or IP address to check against the list of
       local IP addresses or domains, matching as well the port and
       protocol if they are provided. The parameter value can contain
       pseudo-variables.

   address.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * uri - Valid SIP URI, hostname of IP address to check against the
       list of local IP addresses or domains. If it is a SIP URI, the port
       and protocol are ignored. The parameter value can contain
       pseudo-variables.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.12. is_myhost usage
...
if(is_myhost("$tu")) {
    ...
}
...

3.13. setdebug(level)

   Set the debug log level per process.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * level - the debug log level to be set. Can be integer or
       pseudo-variable with integer value.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.13. setdebug usage
...
setdebug("1");
...
$var(level) = 2;
setdebug("$var(level)");
...

3.14. resetdebug()

   Reset the local debug log level back to the value of core parameter
   'debug'.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.14. resetdebug usage
...
resetdebug();
...

3.15. km_append_branch([uri])

   This function was replaced by append_branch() from corex module,
   starting with version 4.0.0.

   Print list of available RPC commands.

   Name: system.listMethods

   Parameters: none.

   RPC Command Format:
...
kamcmd system.listMethods
...

4.31.  system.methodHelp

   Print the help string for given method.

4.32.  system.methodSignature

   Returns signature of given method.

4.33.  mod.mem_stats

   Print private(pkg) or shared(shm) memory currently allocated a given
   module or by all modules.

   NOTE: Processing is done only when the command is issued and involves
   iterating through the list of memory fragments and printing details
   about them.

   NOTE: Only the module functions that directly calls shm_alloc or
   pkg_alloc are taken into consideration.

   The first parameter can be one of the following:
     * module_name - print statistics for specific module. Either a module
       name (like "usrloc") or "core" for the Kamailio core.
     * all - print statistics for all modules that uses memory.

   The second parameter can be:
     * pkg - print private (process) memory statistics.
     * shm - print shared memory statistics.
     * all - print both private and shared memory statistics.

   Examples:
                kamcmd mod.stats core all
                kamcmd mod.stats tm shm
                kamcmd mod.stats kex pkg
                kamcmd mod.stats all all

   Output:
Module: kex
{
    // this is the pkg zone of the module
    // function_name(line_where_pkg_malloc_was_called): size_alloc'ed_by_pkg_mal
loc
    init_rpc_uptime(74): 56
    Total: 56
}
{
    // this is the shm zone of the module
    // function_name(line_where_shm_malloc_was_called): size_alloc'ed_by_shm_mal
loc
    pkg_proc_stats_init(79): 864
    Total: 864
}

4.34.  mod.stats

   Same as RPC command "mod.mem_stats", this is an alias command to
   preserve backward compatibility.

4.35.  mod.mem_statsx

   Similar to RPC command "mod.mem_stats", but the output has an extended
   format, printing info that includes the allocated size and the count of
   allocated chunks in a combined string value. The parameters are the
   same like for "mod.mem_stats".
