 * \brief Call Detail Record Engine.
 *
 * \page CDR Call Detail Record Engine
 *
 * \par Intro
 *
 * The Call Detail Record (CDR) engine uses the \ref stasis Stasis Message Bus
 * to build records for the channels in Asterisk. As the state of a channel and
 * the bridges it participates in changes, notifications are sent over the
 * Stasis Message Bus. The CDR engine consumes these notifications and builds
 * records that reflect that state. Over the lifetime of a channel, many CDRs
 * may be generated for that channel or that involve that channel.
 *
 * CDRs have a lifecycle that is a subset of the channel that they reflect. A
 * single CDR for a channel represents a path of communication between the
 * endpoint behind a channel and Asterisk, or between two endpoints. When a
 * channel establishes a new path of communication, a new CDR is created for the
 * channel. Likewise, when a path of communication is terminated, a CDR is
 * finalized. Finally, when a channel is no longer present in Asterisk, all CDRs
 * for that channel are dispatched for recording.
 *
 * Dispatching of CDRs occurs to registered CDR backends. CDR backends register
 * through \ref ast_cdr_register and are responsible for taking the produced
 * CDRs and storing them in permanent storage.
 *
 * \par CDR attributes
 *
 * While a CDR can have many attributes, all CDRs have two parties: a Party A
 * and a Party B. The Party A is \em always the channel that owns the CDR. A CDR
 * may or may not have a Party B, depending on its state.
 *
 * For the most part, attributes on a CDR are reflective of those same
 * attributes on the channel at the time when the CDR was finalized. Specific
 * CDR attributes include:
 * \li \c start The time when the CDR was created
 * \li \c answer The time when the Party A was answered, or when the path of
 * communication between Party A and Party B was established
 * \li \c end The time when the CDR was finalized
 * \li \c duration \c end - \c start. If \c end is not known, the current time
 * is used
 * \li \c billsec \c end - \c answer. If \c end is not known, the current time
 * is used
 * \li \c userfield User set data on some party in the CDR
 *
 * Note that \c accountcode and \c amaflags are actually properties of a
 * channel, not the CDR.
 *
 * \par CDR States
 *
 * CDRs go through various states during their lifetime. State transitions occur
 * due to messages received over the \ref stasis Stasis Message Bus. The
 * following describes the possible states a CDR can be in, and how it
 * transitions through the states.
 *
 * \par Single
 *
 * When a CDR is created, it is put into the Single state. The Single state
 * represents a CDR for a channel that has no Party B. CDRs can be unanswered
 * or answered while in the Single state.
 *
 * The following transitions can occur while in the Single state:
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_dial_type indicating a Dial Begin is received, the
 * state transitions to Dial
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_snapshot is received indicating that the channel
 * has hung up, the state transitions to Finalized
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type is received indicating a Bridge Enter, the
 * state transitions to Bridge
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type message indicating an entrance to a
 * holding bridge with a subclass type of "parking" is received, the CDR is
 * transitioned to the Parked state.
 *
 * \par Dial
 *
 * This state represents a dial that is occurring within Asterisk. The Party A
 * can either be the caller for a two party dial, or it can be the dialed party
 * if the calling party is Asterisk (that is, an Originated channel). In the
 * first case, the Party B is \em always the dialed channel; in the second case,
 * the channel is not considered to be a "dialed" channel as it is alone in the
 * dialed operation.
 *
 * While in the Dial state, multiple CDRs can be created for the Party A if a
 * parallel dial occurs. Each dialed party receives its own CDR with Party A.
 *
 * The following transitions can occur while in the Dial state:
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_dial_type indicating a Dial End is received where
 * the \ref dial_status is not ANSWER, the state transitions to Finalized
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_snapshot is received indicating that the channel
 * has hung up, the state transitions to Finalized
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_dial_type indicating a Dial End is received where
 * the \ref dial_status is ANSWER, the state transitions to DialedPending
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type is received indicating a Bridge Enter, the
 * state transitions to Bridge
 *
 * \par DialedPending
 *
 * Technically, after being dialed, a CDR does not have to transition to the
 * Bridge state. If the channel being dialed was originated, the channel may
 * being executing dialplan. Strangely enough, it is also valid to have both
 * Party A and Party B - after a dial - to not be bridged and instead execute
 * dialplan. DialedPending handles the state where we figure out if the CDR
 * showing the dial needs to move to the Bridge state; if the CDR should show
 * that we started executing dialplan; of if we need a new CDR.
 *
 * The following transition can occur while in the DialedPending state:
 * \li If a \ref ast_channel_snapshot is received that indicates that the
 * channel has begun executing dialplan, we transition to the Finalized state
 * if we have a Party B. Otherwise, we transition to the Single state.
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type is received indicating a Bridge Enter, the
 * state transitions to Bridge (through the Dial state)
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type message indicating an entrance to a
 * holding bridge with a subclass type of "parking" is received, the CDR is
 * transitioned to the Parked state.
 *
 * \par Bridge
 *
 * The Bridge state represents a path of communication between Party A and one
 * or more other parties. When a CDR enters into the Bridge state, the following
 * occurs:
 * \li The CDR attempts to find a Party B. If the CDR has a Party B, it looks
 * for that channel in the bridge and updates itself accordingly. If the CDR
 * does not yet have a Party B, it attempts to find a channel that can be its
 * Party B. If it finds one, it updates itself; otherwise, the CDR is
 * temporarily finalized.
 * \li Once the CDR has a Party B or it is determined that it cannot have a
 * Party B, new CDRs are created for each pairing of channels with the CDR's
 * Party A.
 *
 * As an example, consider the following:
 * \li A Dials B - both answer
 * \li B joins a bridge. Since no one is in the bridge and it was a dialed
 * channel, it cannot have a Party B.
 * \li A joins the bridge. Since A's Party B is B, A updates itself with B.
 * \li Now say an Originated channel, C, joins the bridge. The bridge becomes
 * a multi-party bridge.
 * \li C attempts to get a Party B. A cannot be C's Party B, as it was created
 * before it. B is a dialed channel and can thus be C's Party B, so C's CDR
 * updates its Party B to B.
 * \li New CDRs are now generated. A gets a new CDR for A -> C. B is dialed, and
 * hence cannot get any CDR.
 * \li Now say another Originated channel, D, joins the bridge. Say D has the
 * \ref party_a flag set on it, such that it is always the preferred Party A.
 * As such, it takes A as its Party B.
 * \li New CDRs are generated. D gets new CDRs for D -> B and D -> C.
 *
 * The following transitions can occur while in the Bridge state:
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type message indicating a leave is received,
 * the state transitions to the Finalized state.
 *
 * \par Parked
 *
 * Parking is technically just another bridge in the Asterisk bridging
 * framework. Unlike other bridges, however there are several key distinctions:
 * \li With normal bridges, you want to show paths of communication between
 * the participants. In parking, however, each participant is independent.
 * From the perspective of a CDR, a call in parking should look like a dialplan
 * application just executed.
 * \li Holding bridges are typically items using in more complex applications,
 * and so we usually don't want to show them. However, with Park, there is no
 * application execution - often, a channel will be put directly into the
 * holding bridge, bypassing the dialplan. This occurs when a call is blind
 * transferred to a parking extension.
 *
 * As such, if a channel enters a bridge and that happens to be a holding bridge
 * with a subclass type of "parking", we transition the CDR into the Parked
 * state. The parking Stasis message updates the application name and data to
 * reflect that the channel is in parking. When this occurs, a special flag is
 * set on the CDR that prevents the application name from being updates by
 * subsequent channel snapshot updates.
 *
 * The following transitions can occur while in the Parked state:
 * \li If a \ref ast_bridge_blob_type message indicating a leave is received,
 * the state transitions to the Finalized state
 *
 * \par Finalized
 *
 * Once a CDR enters the finalized state, it is finished. No further updates
 * can be made to the party information, and the CDR cannot be changed.
 *
 * One exception to this occurs during linkedid propagation, in which the CDRs
 * linkedids are updated based on who the channel is bridged with. In general,
 * however, a finalized CDR is waiting for dispatch to the CDR backends.
