\section FrameHookFunctionality How FrameHooks Work
   FrameHooks work by intercepting all frames being written and read off
   a channel and allowing those frames to be viewed and manipulated within a
   call back function.  Frame interception occurs before any processing is
   done on the frame, which means this hook can be used to transparently
   manipulate a frame before it is read from the channel or written
   to the tech_pvt.  This API can be thought of as a layer between the
   channel API and the Asterisk core when going in the READ direction, and
   as a layer between the Channel API and the tech_pvt when going in the
   WRITE direction.

\section FrameHookAPIUsage How to Use an FrameHook
   Attaching and detaching an FrameHook to a channel is very simple.  There are only
   two functions involved, ast_framehook_attach() which will return an id representing
   the new FrameHook on the channel, and ast_framehook_detach() which signals the
   FrameHook for detachment and destruction. Below is detailed information each of these
   functions and their usage.

\code
   struct ast_framehook_interface interface = {
      .version = AST_FRAMEHOOK_INTERFACE_VERSION,
      .event_cb = hook_event_cb,
      .destroy_cb = hook_destroy_cb,
      .data = data, // where the data ptr points to any custom data used later by the hook cb.
   };
   int id = ast_framehook_attach(channel, &interface);
\endcode

   The ast_framehook_attach() function creates and attaches a new FrameHook onto
   a channel. Once attached to the channel, the FrameHook will call the event_callback
   function each time a frame is written or read on the channel.  A custom data
   pointer can be provided to this function to store on the FrameHook as well.  This
   pointer can be used to keep up with any statefull information associated with the FrameHook
   and is provided during the event_callback function.  The destroy_callback function is optional.
   This function exists so any custom data stored on the FrameHook can be destroyed before
   the Framehook if destroyed.

\code
   ast_framehook_detach(channel, id);
\endcode

   The ast_framehook_detach() function signals the FrameHook represented by an id to
   be detached and destroyed on a channel.  Since it is possible this function may be called
   during the FrameHook's event callback, it is impossible to synchronously detach the
   FrameHook from the channel during this function call.  It is guaranteed that the next
   event proceeding the ast_framehook_detach() will be of type AST_FRAMEHOOK_EVENT_DETACH,
   and that after that event occurs no other event will ever be issued for that FrameHook.
   Once the FrameHook is destroyed, the destroy callback function will be called if it was
   provided. Note that if this function is never called, the FrameHook will be detached
   on channel destruction.

\section FrameHookAPICodeExample FrameHook Example Code
   The example code below attaches an FrameHook on a channel, and then detachs it when
   the first ast_frame is read or written to the event callback function.  The Framehook's id
   is stored on the FrameHook's data pointer so it can be detached within the callback.

\code
   static void destroy_cb(void *data) {
      ast_free(data);
   }

   static struct ast_frame *event_cb(struct ast_channel *chan,
         struct ast_frame *frame,
         enum ast_framehook_event event,
         void *data) {

      int *id = data;

      if (!frame) {
         return frame;
      }

      if (event == AST_FRAMEHOOK_EVENT_WRITE) {
         ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "YAY we received a frame in the write direction, Type: %d\n", frame->frametype)
         ast_framehook_detach(chan, id); // the channel is guaranteed to be locked during this function call.
      } else if (event == AST_FRAMEHOOK_EVENT_READ) {
         ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "YAY we received a frame in the read direction: Type: %d\n", frame->frametype);
         ast_framehook_detach(chan, id); // the channel is guaranteed to be locked during this function call.
      }

      return frame;
   {

   int some_function()
   {
      struct ast_framehook_interface interface = {
         .version = AST_FRAMEHOOK_INTERFACE_VERSION,
         .event_cb = hook_event_cb,
         .destroy_cb = hook_destroy_cb,
      };
      int *id = ast_calloc(1, sizeof(int));

      if (!id) {
         return -1;
      }

      interface.data = id; // This data will be returned to us in the callbacks.

      ast_channel_lock(chan);
      *id = ast_framehook_attach(chan, &interface);
      ast_channel_unlock(chan);

      if (*id < 0) {
         // framehook attach failed, free data
         ast_free(id);
         return -1;
      }
      return 0;
   }
\endcode
