Bash/perl command to get all asterisk functions

I needed a lits of all the asterisk functions, in a html list format, so I whipped up this:

sudo -u www-data asterisk -rx 'show functions'|grep \(|awk '{print $1}'|while read line; do sudo -u www-data asterisk -r -n -q -x 'show function '$line''|perl -0777 -ne "\$f = \$_;\$f = s/\033\[(?:\d+(?:;\d+)*)*m//go;if (/function\s'(.*?)'.*?\[Syntax\]\n(.*?)\n.*?\[Synopsis\]\n(.*?)\n.*?\[Description\]\n(.*?)\n/sg) {print '<li>' . \$1 . '<span class="informal"><span class="syntax">' . \$2 . '</span><span class="synopsis">' . \$3 . '</span><span class="description">' . \$4 . '</span></span></li>' . \"\\n\";}" ; done

and for all applications, xml format:

sudo -u www-data asterisk -rx 'show applications'|grep  awk -F : '{gsub( /^ +| +$/, "", $1 ) ; print $1}'|sort|while read line; do sudo -u www-data asterisk -r -n -q -x 'show application '$line''|perl -0777 -ne "\$f = \$_;\$f = s/\033\[(?:\d+(?:;\d+)*)*m//go;\$f = s/\</&lt;/go;\$f = s/\>/&gt;/go;if (/application\s'(.*?)'.*?\[Synopsis\]\n(.*?)\n.*?\[Description\]\n(.*?)\n(.*?)\n\n/sg) {print '<application><name>' . \$1 . '</name><synopsis>' . \$2 . '</synopsis><usage>' . \$3 . '</usage><description>' . \$4 . '</description></application>' . \"\\n\";}"  ; done

Obviously, replace the www-data username with your asterisk username. Also, if you want to change the output details, just change the last bit, where perl outputs the results of the regex.

Have fun.
