### Description alias_db_lookup is returning `-1` if result is not found. The documentation says "The function returns TRUE if R-URI is alias and it was replaced by user's SIP uri." The implication is that it should return FALSE if that is not the case. Sample code: ``` $vn(init_ruri) = $ru; $vn(alias_found) = alias_db_lookup("DbAliases"); xlogl("L_NOTIFY", "$$vn(alias_found) is [$vn(alias_found)]\n"); if ( !$vn(alias_found) ) { xlogl("L_NOTIFY", "No alias found for [$vn(init_ruri)]\n"); return; } xlogl("L_NOTIFY", "Found alias [$ru] for [$vn(init_ruri)]\n"); ``` The value for $vn(alias_found) is -1 if there is no alias, and thus the condition never occurs. "Found alias" line always occurs, even if there is no record in the DB. I think this should probably be considered a documentation issue, but I'm not sure what the other possible values are for return and their meanings. Maybe there's a different value if an alias is found but not updated, etc? ### Troubleshooting Example above #### Reproduction Example above. #### Debugging Data Not applicable #### Log Messages N/A #### SIP Traffic N/A ### Possible Solutions Probably best to update documentation. The statement, "The function returns TRUE if R-URI is alias and it was replaced by user's SIP uri." implies that if that does not happen, then the return would be FALSE. ### Additional Information `5.4.1` * **Operating System**: Debian 10 -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
