.SH NAME
sip_hold_dialog, sip_release_dialog \- hold/release reference on a dialog
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lsip\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <sip.h>

\fBvoid\fR \fIsip_hold_dialog\fR(\fBsip_dialog_t\fR \fIdialog\fR);
.fi

.nf
\fBvoid\fR \fIsip_release_dialog\fR(\fBsip_dialog_t\fR \fIdialog\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
For functions that return a pointer of type \fBsip_str_t\fR, \fBsip_str_t\fR is
supplied by:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
typedef struct sip_str {
     char	*sip_str_ptr;
     int	sip_str_len;
}sip_str_t;
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The \fIsip_str_ptr\fR parameter points to the start of the returned value and
\fIsip_str_len\fR supplies the length of the returned value.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsip_hold_dialog()\fR function is used to hold a reference on the
\fIdialog\fR. A dialog is not freed if there are any references on it.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsip_release_dialog()\fR function is used to release a reference in the
\fIdialog\fR. If the reference in a dialog drops to \fB0\fR and it is in
\fBSIP_DLG_DESTROYED\fR state, it is freed.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The value of \fBerrno\fR is not changed by these calls in the event of an
