* \page AstGenericEvents Generic event system
*
* The purpose of this API is to provide a generic way to share events between
* Asterisk modules. Code can generate events, and other code can subscribe to
* them.
*
* Events have an associated event type, as well as information elements. The
* information elements are the meta data that go along with each event. For
* example, in the case of message waiting indication, the event type is MWI,
* and each MWI event contains at least three information elements: the
* mailbox, the number of new messages, and the number of old messages.
*
* Subscriptions to events consist of an event type and information elements,
* as well. Subscriptions can be to all events, or a certain subset of events.
* If an event type is provided, only events of that type will be sent to this
* subscriber. Furthermore, if information elements are supplied with the
* subscription, only events that contain the specified information elements
* with specified values will be sent to the subscriber. For example, when a
* SIP phone subscribes to MWI for mailbox 1234, then chan_sip can subscribe
* to internal Asterisk MWI events with the MAILBOX information element with
* a value of "1234".
*
* Another key feature of this event system is the ability to cache events.
* It is useful for some types of events to be able to remember the last known
* value. These are usually events that indicate some kind of state change.
* In the example of MWI, app_voicemail can instruct the event core to cache
* these events based on the mailbox. So, the last known MWI state of each
* mailbox will be cached, and other modules can retrieve this information
* on demand without having to poll the mailbox directly.

* \brief Subscribe to events
*
* \param event_type The type of events to subscribe to
* \param cb The function to be called with events
* \param description Description of the subscription.
* \param userdata data to be passed to the event callback
*
* The rest of the arguments to this function specify additional parameters for
* the subscription to filter which events are passed to this subscriber. The
* arguments must be in sets of:
* \code
* <enum ast_event_ie_type>, [enum ast_event_ie_pltype, [payload] ]
* \endcode
* and must end with AST_EVENT_IE_END.
*
* If the ie_type specified is *not* AST_EVENT_IE_END, then it must be followed
* by a valid IE payload type. If the payload type specified is
* AST_EVENT_IE_PLTYPE_EXISTS, then the 3rd argument should not be provided.
* Otherwise, a payload must also be specified.
*
* \return This returns a reference to the subscription for use with
* un-subscribing later. If there is a failure in creating the
* subscription, NULL will be returned.
*
* Example usage:
*
* \code
* peer->mwi_event_sub = ast_event_subscribe(AST_EVENT_MWI, mwi_event_cb, peer,
* AST_EVENT_IE_MAILBOX, AST_EVENT_IE_PLTYPE_STR, peer->mailbox,
* AST_EVENT_IE_END);
* \endcode
*
* This creates a subscription to AST_EVENT_MWI events that contain an
* information element, AST_EVENT_IE_MAILBOX, with the same string value
* contained in peer->mailbox. Also, the event callback will be passed a
* pointer to the peer.
*
* \note A NULL description will cause this function to crash, so watch out!
