# megaco_transport

### MODULE

megaco_transport

### MODULE SUMMARY

Megaco transport begaviour.

### DESCRIPTION

The following functions should be exported from a `megaco_transport` callback module:

### EXPORTS

`Module:send_message(Handle, Msg) -> ok | {cancel, Reason} | Error`

Types:

`Handle = term()`
`Msg = binary() | iolist()`
`Reason = term()`
`Error = term()`

Send a megaco message.

If the function returns `{cancel, Reason}`, this means the transport module decided not to send the message. This is not an error. No error messages will be issued and no error counters incremented. What actions this will result in depends on what kind of message was sent. In the case of requests, megaco will cancel the message in much the same way as if `megaco:cancel` had been called (after a successfull send). The information will be propagated back to the user differently dependning on how the request(s) where issued: For requests issued using megaco:call, the info will be delivered in the return value. For requests issued using `megaco:cast` the info will be delivered via a call to the callback function handle_trans_reply. In the case of reply, megaco will cancel the reply and information of this will be returned to the user via a call to the callback function handle_trans_ack.
