Flash() Flashes a Zap trunk
Flash()

Sends a flash on a Zap channel. This is only a hack for people who want to perform
transfers and other actions that require a flash via an AGI script. It is generally quite
useless otherwise.
Returns 0 on success, or -1 if this is not a Zap trunk.

FollowMe() Find me/follow me functionality
FollowMe(followmeid[,options])

This application attempts to locate the callee by dialing many different destinations
either serially or in parallel, as defined in followme.conf.
The followmeid identifies the section of followme.conf that specifies how this callee
should be found. The options parameter can be zero or more of the following:
s
Playback the incoming status message prior to starting the follow-me step(s)
a
Record the caller’s name so it can be announced to the callee on each step
n
Playback the unreachable status message if we’ve run out of steps to reach the callee
or the callee has elected not to be reachable

ForkCDR() Creates an additional CDR from the current call

ForkCDR([options])
Creates an additional Call Detail Record for the remainder of the current call.

This application is often used in calling-card applications to distinguish the inbound
call (the original CDR) from the billable call time (the second CDR).
If the v option is specified, all the CDR variables from the current record will be inherited
by the new CDR record.
