RECORD FILE

Synopsis

Records to a given file.

Description

Record to a file until a given dtmf digit in the sequence is received. Returns '-1' on hangup or error. The format will specify what kind of file will be recorded. The timeout is the maximum record time in milliseconds, or '-1' for no timeout. offset samples is optional, and, if provided, will seek to the offset without exceeding the end of the file. beep can take any value, and causes Asterisk to play a beep to the channel that is about to be recorded. silence is the number of seconds of silence allowed before the function returns despite the lack of dtmf digits or reaching timeout. silence value must be preceded by 's=' and is also optional.
