          LookupCIDName()

Looks up the caller ID number in the AstDB (family cidname), and, if it exists, sets the corresponding caller ID name. This application does nothing if no caller ID is present. LookupCIDName() can be useful if you receive number information but no names, or if you want to change the caller ID information certain incoming calls.

Returns 0.

To add entries to the list from the CLI enter database put cidname "number" "name"; similarly enter database del cidname "number" to delete entries and database show cidname to print a list of all the entries in the database.
