NoOp()

Does nothing.

        
          NoOp(text)
        
      

This application does absolutely nothing - well, not exactly. You can use NoOp() to print text to the Asterisk CLI, which can be very useful.

The text need not be between quotation marks. If they are entered, they will be printed on the CLI along with the rest of the text.

[Important]

Text from NoOp() appears on the CLI at verbose level 3 or higher. You can set this in the CLI with set verbose 3 or by invoking the Asterisk CLI with asterisk -vvvr.
