<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the page where a module is
described,
there is a list of dependencies that have to be met in order to use the
module,
the list of exported parameters that might need to be set in the
configuration
file and a list of exported functions which can be used in the
configuration
script. I’ve noticed as well, that there are some “Exported MI
functions” but I was wondering if any of you know what the purpose of
those functions is, where and how such functions could be used?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mi functions can be used in control commands that can be sent via fifo
file, unix/datagram socket or xmlrpc. We start to deprecate them in
favour of RPC control interface.<br>
<br>
One option to run mi commands is via kamctl:<br>
<br>
kamctl fifo command params<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
kamctl fifo ps<br>
kamctl fifo uptime<br>
<br>
To see what mi commands are available:<br>
<br>
kamctl fifo which<br>
<br>
With 3.0+ you can use sercmd as well, e.g.,:<br>
<br>
sercmd> mi which<br>
sercmd> mi ps<br>
<br>
