1. Overview

   The module implements text based operations over the SIP message
   processed by Kamailio. SIP is a text based protocol and the module
   provides a large set of very useful functions to manipulate the message
   at text level, e.g., regular expression search and replace, Perl-like
   substitutions, checks for method type, header presence, insert of new
   header and date, etc.

2. Known Limitations

   Search functions are applied to the original request, i.e., they ignore
   all changes resulting from message processing in Kamailio script.

   Search ignores folded lines. For example, search(“(From|f):.*@foo.bar”)
   doesn't match the following From header field:
From: medabeda
 <sip:medameda@foo.bar>;tag=1234

3. Dependencies

   3.1. Kamailio Modules
   3.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following modules must be loaded before this module:
     * No dependencies on other Kamailio modules.

3.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed before
   running Kamailio with this module loaded:
     * None.

   wich one is the last and fixing the others if needed.

   Note: it may be required that msg_apply_changes() from textopsx module
   has to be executed if there are other operations over the new body.

   Example 1.51. append_body_part_hex usage
...
$var(b) = "6b 61 6d 61 69 6c 69 6f";
append_body_part_hex("$var(b)", "application/my-custom-ext");
msg_apply_changes();
...

# Will append this to the body:

...
Content-Type: application/my-custom-ext

--unique-boundary-1
...

   If other headers are wanted to be added for a body part, see the docs
   for append_body_part(...) function.

4.51.  get_body_part(content_type, opv)

   Return the content of a multipart body SIP message, storing it in opv.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * content_type - value of Content-Type header of the part to be
       returned. If more than one exists the first occurrence will be
       returned.
     * opv - variable name where to store the result.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   BRANCH_ROUTE, ONREPLY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.52. get_body_part usage
...
get_body_part("application/vnd.cirpack.isdn-ext", "$var(pbody)");
...

4.52.  get_body_part_raw(content_type, opv)

   Return the content of a multipart body SIP message, including headers
   and boundary string, storing it in opv.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * content_type - value of Content-Type header of the part to be
       returned. If more than one exists the first occurrence will be
       returned.
     * opv - variable name where to store the result.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   BRANCH_ROUTE, ONREPLY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.53. get_body_part_raw usage
...
get_body_part("application/vnd.cirpack.isdn-ext", "$var(hbody)");
...

4.53.  remove_body_part(content_type)

   Remove a part on a multipart body SIP message.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * content_type - value of Content-Type header of the part to be
       removed. If more than one exists the first occurrence will be
       removed.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   BRANCH_ROUTE.

   The core will take care of the last boundary ending "--". Detecting
   wich one is the last and fixing the others if needed.

   Note: it may be required that msg_apply_changes() from textopsx module
   has to be executed if there are other operations over the new body.

   Example 1.54. remove_body_part usage
...
remove_body_part("application/vnd.cirpack.isdn-ext");
msg_apply_changes();
...

4.54.  regex_substring(itext, regexp, mindex, mcount, dpv)

   Search in text with given regular expression then sets dpv
   pseudo-variable with the matched token at provided index.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * itext - text to be searched (dynamic string)
     * regexp - regular expression (dynamic string)
     * mindex - index of the matched token (int or variable holding int)
     * mcount - the number of maximum expected matches (int or variable
       holding int)
     * dpv - variable to be set with matched token (static string with a
       name of a variable)

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   BRANCH_ROUTE.

   Note that the regular expression extended is used. More info at:
   https://www.regular-expressions.info/posix.html.

   Example 1.55. _regex_substring usage
        ...
        regex_substring("___ abc123def ___ ghi456 ___", "([a-z]*)([0-9]+)([a-z]*
)",
                        1, 3, "$var(asd)");
        xlog("L_WARN","RESULT: $var(asd)\r\n");
