 * @section howto3_1 Description.

The interesting and somewhat complex feature implemented
by osip is the 4 states machines that applied to the different
transactions defined by the SIP rfc.

SIP defines the following 4 state machines, abreviations
used in osip are provided below:

<UL>
  <LI>ICT : Invite Client Transaction (Section 17.1.1) </LI>
  <LI>NICT: Non Invite Client Transaction (Section 17.1.2) </LI>
  <LI>IST : Invite Server Transaction (Section 17.2.1) </LI>
  <LI>NIST: Non Invite Server Transaction (Section 17.2.2) </LI>
</UL>

As you can notice if you have read the rfc (do it!), those
4 state machines are provided as drawings within the SIP
rfc3261.txt (section 17.1 and 17.2)

As an exemple of what you'll find in the rfc3261, here is the
drawing that apply to the "Invite Client Transaction" (page 127)

                 Figure 5: INVITE client transaction
</PRE>


As you can expect, with osip an Invite Client Transaction may be
in the CALLING, PROCEEDING, COMPLETED or TERMINATED state. To
"execute" the state machine, you will build events, provide them
to the correct transaction context and the the state of the
transaction will be updated if the event is allowed in the current
state.

Events are divided in three categories:

<UL>
<LI>SIP messages</LI>
<LI>Timers</LI>
<LI>transport errors</LI>
</UL>

* @section howto3_2 Managing a new transaction.

Let's assume you want to implement a User Agent and you want to
start a REGISTER transaction. Using the parser library, you will first
have to build a SIP compliant message. (oSIP, as a low layer library
provides an interface to build SIP messages, but it's up to you to
correctly fill all the required fields.)
As soon as you have build the SIP message, you are ready to start a new
transaction. Here is the code:

<PRE>
	osip_t *osip       = your_global_osip_context;
	osip_transaction_t *transaction;
	osip_message_t     *sip_register_message;
	osip_event_t       *sipevent;

	application_build_register(&sip_register_message);
	osip_transaction_init(&transaction,
		NICT, //a REGISTER is a Non-Invite-Client-Transaction
		osip,
		sip_register_message);

	// If you have a special context that you want to associate to that
	// transaction, you can use a special method that associate your context
	// to the transaction context.

	osip_transaction_set_your_instance(transaction, any_pointer);

	// at this point, the transaction context exists in oSIP but you still have
	// to give the SIP message to the finite state machine.   
	sipevent = osip_new_outgoing_sipmessage (msg);
	sipevent->transactionid =  transaction->transactionid;
	osip_transaction_add_event (transaction, sipevent);
	// at this point, the event will be handled by oSIP. (The memory resource will
	// also be handled by oSIP). Note that no action is taken there. 
</PRE>

Adding new events in the fsm is made with similar code.

* @section howto3_3 Consuming events.

The previous step show how to create a transaction and one possible way
to add a new event. (Note, that some events -the TIMEOUT_* ones- will be
added by oSIP not by the application). In this step, we describe how the
oSIP stack will consume events. In fact, this is very simple, but you
should be aware that it's not always allowed to consume an event at any time!
The fsm MUST consume events sequentially within a transaction. This means
that when your are calling osip_transaction_execute(), it is forbidden to call
this method again with the same transaction context until the first call
has returned. In a multi threaded application, if one thread handles one
transaction, the code will be the following:

<PRE>
  while (1)
    {
      se = (osip_event_t *) osip_fifo_get (transaction->transactionff);
      if (se==NULL)
	  osip_thread_exit ();
      if ( osip_transaction_execute (transaction,se)<1)  // deletion asked
	  osip_thread_exit ();
  }
</pre>

* @section howto3_4 Announcing events to the application layer.

Looking at the case of a usual outgoing REGISTER transaction, this behaviour
is expected.

When an event is seen as useful for the fsm, it means that a transition
from one state to another has to be done on the transaction context. If the
event is SND_REQUEST (this is the case for an outgoing REGISTER), the
callback previously registered to announce this action will be called. This
callback is useless for the application as no action has to be taken at this
step. A more interesting announcement will be made when consuming the
first final response received. If the callbacks associated to 2xx message
is called, then the transaction has succeeded. Inside this callback, you
will probably inform the user of the success of the registration if you want
to do so...

If the final response is not a 2xx, or the network callback is called, you'll
probably want to take some actions. For example, if you receive a 302, you'll
probably want to retry a registration at the new location. All that decision
is up to you.

When the transaction reach the TERMINATED state (when the *kill* callback
is called, you must remove it from the list of known transactions with

<PRE>
	static void cb_ict_kill_transaction(int type, osip_transaction_t *tr) 
	{
	  int i;
	  fprintf(stdout, "testosip: transaction is over\n");
	  i = osip_remove_transaction (_osip, tr);
	  if (i!=0) fprintf(stderr, "testosip: cannot remove transaction\n");
	}
</PRE>
